Abstract

An acicular, magnetic iron oxide pigment containing about 0.05 to 5% by weight of an organo silicon compound is produced by treating iron oxide hydroxide seeds either dry or in suspension with an organo silicon compound. Preferred organo silicon compounds comprise polymethylphenylsiloxane, polydimethylsiloxane and polydiphenylsiloxane. Trivalent metal ions may subsequently be deposited. The resulting pigments show only minimal losses of coercive force during processing into magnetic tapes.
