Description
A yellow to brown hydrated iron oxide material that occurs in nature as the minerals Goethite, lepidocrocite, and Limonite. Ferric hydroxide slowly loses water to form Ferric oxide or Rust. It is used as a Pigment, Catalyst, and rubber filler. Some commercial names for synthetically prepared yellow iron oxide compounds are Mars yellow, Mapico yellow, Ferrite, and Ferrox.
