ʻO ka pigment hao oxide kahi ʻano pigment me ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻopuehu ʻana, ke kūpaʻa maikaʻi loa i ka mālamalama, a me ke kūpaʻa i ka wā. ʻO nā pigment hao oxide e pili nui ana i ʻehā ʻano o nā pigment kala: ʻulaʻula hao oxide, melemele hao, ʻeleʻele hao, a me ka ʻeleʻele hao, me ka hao oxide ma ke ʻano he mea kumu. I waena o lākou, ʻo ka ʻulaʻula hao oxide ka pigment nui (e helu ana ma kahi o 50% onā pigment hao ʻokikene), a me ka mica iron oxide i hoʻohana ʻia ma ke ʻano he pigment anti rust a me ka magnetic iron oxide i hoʻohana ʻia ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻopaʻa leo magnetic e pili pū ana i ka māhele onā pigment hao ʻokikeneʻO ka ʻokikene hao ka lua o ka pigment inorganic nui loa ma hope o ka titanium dioxide a ʻo ia hoʻi ka pigment inorganic kala nui loa. ʻOi aku ma mua o 70% o nā pigments hao oxide i hoʻopau ʻia e hoʻomākaukau ʻia e nā ʻano hana synthesis kemika, i ʻike ʻia ʻo synthetic iron oxide. Hoʻohana nui ʻia ka oxide hao synthetic i nā mea kūkulu hale, nā uhi, nā plastics, nā mea uila, ka paka, nā lāʻau lapaʻau, ka rubber, nā keramika, nā ʻīnika, nā mea magnetic, ka hana pepa, a me nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe ma muli o kona maʻemaʻe synthesis kiʻekiʻe, ka nui o nā ʻāpana like, ka chromatography ākea, nā kala he nui, ke kumukūʻai haʻahaʻa, a me nā waiwai ʻawaʻawa ʻole, a me nā waiwai kala a me nā noi maikaʻi loa, a me nā waiwai omo UV.
