Crystal structure: often exists in α-Fe₂O₃ crystal type corundum type tripartite crystal system structure, a small portion exists in sub-stable crystal type γ-Fe₂O₃ cubic crystal system structure.

Application

Magnetic material field: γ – Fe₂O₃ has magnetic property, which can be used to manufacture magnetic recording materials such as magnetic tapes and disks, and is one of the key raw materials in the field of information storage.

Catalytic field: It acts as a catalyst in some chemical reactions, such as catalytic oxidation reaction, water gas conversion reaction, etc., which can accelerate the reaction and improve the reaction efficiency.

Electronic materials: used in the preparation of electronic components in the magnetic film, semiconductor materials, etc., to help improve the performance of electronic equipment, such as improving the sensitivity of magnetic sensors.

Pharmaceutical field: It can be used as a component of drug carrier or contrast agent, and its appropriate physicochemical properties can be used to help the drug to better perform its effect or to diagnose the disease.

Quality Control

Each batch of our products starts from the careful selection of raw materials and goes through several advanced processes, with strict parameter control and real-time monitoring at each step. The entire production process follows the international quality management system, and the use of high-precision testing equipment carries out all-around precision testing of particle size distribution, purity, impurity content and other key indicators, without sparing any minor defects, in order to ensure the quality of each batch of products.

Packaging and Storage

Iron Oxide powder is packed in double vacuum bags or bottles and cartons.

Iron Oxide powder should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated environment, avoiding moisture and contact with strong reducing agents, sealed to prevent the powder from flying, and placed away from sources of ignition and high temperature sources to ensure its chemical and physical properties are stable.
