Manufacturing Process Flowchart — Synthetic Iron Oxide Pigment

1. Raw Material Selection → High-purity iron salts & mineral oxides

2. Chemical Synthesis → Precipitation or calcination (controlled oxidation)

3. Particle Size Refinement → Ball-milling, sieving

4. Surface Modification → Silane/Copper stabilization for anti-caking

5. Spray Drying/Granulation → Creating free-flowing pigment powders

6. Quality Testing → ISO 1248, ASTM D476 standards

7. Packaging → Moisture-proof, food-grade bags

Note: Each process is monitored for Fe-content, impurities, color intensity, pH, and dispersibility, to ensure each batch of iron oxide pigment meets strict international standards (ISO, ANSI, EN).
