WHY CHOOSE ORM 100% NATURAL RED OXIDE?

Superior protection

By selecting the correct grade of ORM red oxide, the natural mineral will give better protection than most synthetics when used in paints and coatings. Please see results of tests in the panel on the right.

Greater resistance to corrosion

The lower level of soluble salts in natural red oxide ensures longer protection against blistering when used in protective coatings.

Quality and durability

In cement and concrete manufacturing, natural red oxides form crystals during the production process which help prolong the colour-life of the product. Even though it is less expensive, there is no loss of quality or durability when using our natural oxide.

Less environmental impact

ORM 100% natural red oxide is mined directly from the ground, then dried in the sun, milled, packaged and despatched. It requires no additives, no processing and no filtering unlike synthetic oxides that can leave varying amounts of potentially toxic residues in the soil and water table as a result of chemical processing.

Cost saving

By switching from synthetic red oxide to ORM 100% natural red oxide you will find the cost savings are significant.
