Hematite Oil Paint

Description

Hematite oil paint is a single pigment color made of natural iron oxide minerals from ore deposits in the United States. Red iron oxide, or ferric oxide, is the principal coloring agent in the natural mineral hematite, which is often associated with varying proportions of other minerals, such as clay, chalk, and silica. Natural red iron oxides, such as hematite, are opaque, permanent, and have excellent covering power. They are strong absorbers of ultraviolet light.
