Four Primary Forms

Iron oxide is available in four primary forms, each with distinct properties and applications.

Metal Particles

Metal Particles are also known as iron powder is highly unstable and has the formula Fe0. These particles are highly reactive and are currently used in magnetic recording but their usage is limited due to their affinity to oxidize rapidly in the presence of air. NanoChemonics is presently designing materials with the reactivity of pure metal but with stablizing characteristics for safer application. Metal particles are characterized by their very high saturation magnetic moment and its ability to provide electrons to convert environmentally hazaradous materials to more benign products.
