Cathay CATHAYCOAT Black BB31 Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the key advantages of Cathay CATHAYCOAT Black BB31 compared to organic black pigments?

A: Cathay CATHAYCOAT Black BB31 offers superior thermal stability, UV resistance, and chemical inertness due to its inorganic composition—making it especially suitable for high-temperature processing and outdoor applications where long-term color retention is critical.


Q2: Is BB31 compatible with water-based coating systems?

A: Yes, BB31 is engineered for broad compatibility across both solvent-based and water-based industrial coatings, including acrylic, epoxy, and polyurethane dispersions—surface treatment ensures good dispersion stability and reduced agglomeration in aqueous media.


Q3: How should BB31 be dispersed in a formulation?

A: Optimal dispersion is achieved using high-shear mixing or bead milling; pre-wetting with a portion of the vehicle and gradual addition under agitation helps prevent dusting and ensures uniform distribution. Dispersing aids may be used depending on the resin system.


Q4: Does BB31 contain heavy metals regulated under RoHS or REACH?

A: BB31 is formulated without lead, mercury, cadmium, or hexavalent chromium, and complies with current RoHS and REACH SVHC screening expectations for general industrial pigment use; full regulatory documentation is available upon request for specific application assessments.
