Bayferrox 130 is an iron oxide red pigment.
Bayferrox 130 is delivered as powder and can be applied for the coloration of a wide variety of construction materials.
As a result of the manufacturing process (Laux-process), which includes a high temperature calcining step, Bayferrox 130 has a higher intrinsic hardness than other precipitated pigments.

Bayferrox 130 is very resistant to color change during high energy dispersion processes.
The high temperatures involved in the calcining process also give the pigment outstanding heat stability.
This EPD applies to the iron oxide red pigments Bayferrox 130 in the versions compacted (130 C), powder (130), and granulate (130 G).

Bayferrox 130 is an average EPD for which the weighted average of the three versions was calculated on the basis of the mass-specific production rate of the last five years (2016–2020).
