Elementis Kroma Red iron oxides are a unique product line which is produced by direct precipitation as
ferric oxide rather than by more traditional calcination methods. As a result of this precipitation process
this product line has excellent dispersibility in addition to clean, bright mass tone and tint colors. This
group of Elementis colors designated as "RO" provides excellent, cost effective dispersibility on high
speed mixing equipment.
Kroma Reds are available in seven (7) shades ranging from the light shade RO-2097 to the dark shade RO-
8097. All of the Kroma Red products are carefully controlled within narrow limits for mass color, tint and
strength.
Elementis Kroma Reds are non fading, chemically stable and are unaffected by normal baking
temperatures. They find wide application in paints and coatings of all types. They are also used in many
other applications such as building materials, chemicals and plastics.
