Iron Oxide Red S212

Iron Oxide Red S212 is a high-quality mineral pigment valued for its rich, warm red tone and exceptional durability. Based on naturally occurring iron oxide, one of the oldest colouring materials known to mankind, red iron oxide pigments have been used since prehistoric times and have played a central role in architectural decoration for centuries. Modern manufacturing techniques ensure consistent colour, excellent opacity and outstanding permanence while retaining the timeless character of traditional earth pigments.

Renowned for its exceptional lightfastness and compatibility with breathable paint systems, Iron Oxide Red S212 is ideally suited to limewash, distemper, casein paints and other traditional wall paints. Its strong, earthy character makes it particularly suitable for creating terracotta shades, warm pinks and muted reds, while blending readily with ochres, umbers and black pigments to produce authentic period colour palettes for both interiors and exteriors.
