Cathay CATHAYCOAT Black BA30 Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of CATHAYCOAT Black BA30?

A: CATHAYCOAT Black BA30 is a high-performance inorganic black pigment based on mixed metal oxides, engineered for thermal and chemical stability. Its exact composition is proprietary, but it contains no heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, or mercury, and complies with global RoHS and REACH substance restrictions.


Q2: Is BA30 suitable for high-temperature coating applications?

A: Yes — BA30 exhibits excellent thermal stability and retains its black coloration and dispersion integrity in organic and inorganic binder systems exposed to continuous service temperatures up to 600°C, making it well-suited for industrial coatings, ceramic glazes, and heat-resistant paints.


Q3: How does BA30 compare to carbon black in terms of UV resistance and weathering performance?

A: Unlike organic carbon blacks, BA30 is inherently UV-inert and non-photoreactive. It delivers superior long-term color retention, minimal chalking, and no fading under prolonged outdoor exposure — especially advantageous in architectural coatings, exterior plastics, and facade systems where durability is critical.


Q4: Can BA30 be used in water-based coating formulations?

A: Yes — BA30 is surface-treated to ensure good wettability and stable dispersion in both water-based and solvent-based systems. For optimal performance in aqueous media, mild dispersants and pH control are recommended during formulation.
