[nanoPost] Nanoparticle Iron Oxide

Company USA

Colour pigments

- The company offers color pigments for a variety of applications.

- From Ultra-small iron oxide nanoparticles (1-2nm) to more traditional transparent iron oxide pigments

- Have developed several new grades of yellow and red nanoparticle iron oxide which can be dispersed without the need for aggressive milling equipment

- These materials offer transparency and high UV protection.

Catalysts

- The company offers commercially available high surface area nanoparticle iron oxides for supreme performance in catalyst reactions.

- These high purity materials exhibit an energy release and reactivity many times that of standard iron oxides.

- The materials are available as goethite, hematite, magamite, and magnetite.

- Products can be custom produced for application including: particle shape, surface area, and individual particle size.

- technology currently under development includes complex inorganic nanoparticle oxides, containing various combinations other metals or elements.

Impurity removal

- nanoparticle iron oxides can be used for separation, absorption, and collection of impurities, either as a filter media, or in magnetic separation and collection applications.

- Nanoparticle Iron oxide in certain forms are very effective for Arsenic and Mercury removal.

- magnetites can be utilized for magnetic collection and separation of impurities.

UV Protection

- iron oxide nanoparticles demonstrate the ultimate in UV protection.

- materials can be used to improve light fastness and protect substrates, whether human skin, other pigments, or wood and metal surfaces.

- materials can be engineered for application to most any surface, can demonstrate low or high color properties, and are available in yellow, red, brown or black. High purity allows for there use in cosmetic applications, including dry powders, and sun screen formulations.

- nanoparticle iron oxide can be used in both water and organic systems.

Security

- nanoparticle iron oxides, both magnetic and non-magnetic, exhibit unique color properties including color shift or change based on light conditions.

- These UV light properties can be combined with magnetic properties to offer the utmost in anti-counterfeiting and the improvement of security documents.

- Both super para-magnetic and standard MICR materials are available for banking, military, homeland security, and other sensitive applications.

Conductive Pigments

- nanoparticle iron oxides have been developed to serve the growing area of conductive inks and coatings.

- These materials can be engineered from 60-200 m2/g, and are available in tubular, acicular or spherical form.

- Highly conductive nanoparticle iron oxides offer solutions to a variety of applications.

Environmental remediation

- High reactivity, absorption, and large surface areas offer unique and novel forms for dealing with remediation issues.

- Products can be custom designed to provide clean-up and removal solutions in many areas including: PCB’s, Mercury, Arsenic, and chlorinated compounds.

Cosmetics

- Iron oxides have been in use for thousands of years for beautification, painting, and appearance change.

- company produces new forms of iron oxide in yellow, red, black and brown. These nanoparticle iron oxides can be produced to be transparent or opaque, and in spherical, planar, disc, or doughnut particle shapes.

- These materials offer exceptional feel, and disperse with minimal effort. These materials meet FDA and E-172 requirements.
