Cathay CATHAYCOAT Brown BRS81 Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay CATHAYCOAT Brown BRS81?

A: Cathay CATHAYCOAT Brown BRS81 is an iron-based inorganic pigment, primarily composed of complex mixed metal oxides incorporating iron and other transition metals to achieve its stable brown hue and high thermal stability.


Q2: Is this pigment suitable for high-temperature coating applications, such as coil coatings or ceramic glazes?

A: Yes — BRS81 exhibits excellent thermal stability and resistance to degradation at elevated processing temperatures, making it well-suited for demanding applications including coil coatings, industrial baked enamels, and certain low-fire ceramic systems.


Q3: How does BRS81 perform in UV-exposed outdoor applications?

A: As a fully inorganic oxide pigment, BRS81 offers outstanding lightfastness and UV resistance, with minimal risk of fading or chalking under prolonged outdoor exposure — ideal for architectural coatings and exterior industrial finishes.


Q4: Can BRS81 be used in water-based coating systems?

A: Yes — BRS81 is compatible with both water-based and solvent-based systems. Its surface treatment ensures good dispersion stability and rheological compatibility across common acrylic, epoxy, and polyurethane formulations.
