Properties

Iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) or ferric oxide is also known as hematite

(alpha form) or maghemite (gamma form) in its mineral form.  As

an industrial chemical it is commonly called rouge.  Purified, it is

used as a coating in magnetic audio and computer media.  In a dry

or alkaline environment it can cause passivation and inhibits rust,

yet it is also a major component of rust.  Ferric oxide powder is

most commonly used as pigment in paint, masonry and ceramics

but is also a component of thermite.
