Abstract
Abstract An anti-corrosion pigment comprising about 30 to 70 mole % of an oxide of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of magnesium, calcium and zinc, about 70 to 30 mole % of Fe 2 O 3 , and up to about 20 mole % of Cr 2 O 3 , the pigment having a specific surface of about 1 to 30 m 2 /g and exhibiting a weight loss of less than about 0.05% per gram of pigment by the Thomson corrosion test, is produced by calcining the corresponding metal oxides. The temperature is about 200 to 650° C. in the absence of chromium and about 200 to 900° C. when chromium is present.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
A process for the production of an anti-corrosion pigment, comprising about 30 to 70 mole % of an oxide of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of magnesium, calcium and zinc, about 70 to 30 mole % of Fe 2 O 3 , and about 0.1 to 20 mole % of Cr 2 O 3 , which comprises calcining the corresponding metal oxides or starting materials which yield metal oxides upon calcination at a temperature of about 200° to 900° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
84 words
A process for the production of an anti-corrosion pigment, comprising about 30 to 70 mole % of an oxide of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of magnesium, calcium and zinc, about 70 to 30 mole % of Fe 2 O 3 , and about 0.1 to 20 mole % of Cr 2 O 3 , which comprises calcining the corresponding metal oxides or starting materials which yield metal oxides upon calcination at a temperature of about 200° to 900° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein calcination is effected at about 250° to 800° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein calcination is effected at about 300° to 650° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
