Cathay CATHAYCOAT Brown BRS85 Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay CATHAYCOAT Brown BRS85?

A: Cathay CATHAYCOAT Brown BRS85 is a mixed-metal oxide pigment based on iron and manganese oxides, engineered for thermal and chemical stability in demanding industrial coating systems.


Q2: Is this pigment suitable for high-temperature curing applications, such as coil coatings or powder coatings?

A: Yes — BRS85 exhibits excellent thermal stability and retains its color integrity during typical industrial curing cycles up to 250°C, making it well-suited for coil coatings, powder coatings, and other heat-cured systems.


Q3: How does BRS85 perform in UV-exposed outdoor applications?

A: As an inorganic oxide pigment, BRS85 offers inherently high UV resistance and lightfastness, supporting long-term color retention in exterior architectural coatings, automotive refinishing, and industrial maintenance paints.


Q4: Can BRS85 be used in water-based coating systems?

A: Yes — BRS85 is compatible with both solvent-borne and water-based industrial coating formulations, including acrylic, epoxy, and polyurethane dispersions, when properly dispersed using standard wetting and stabilization techniques.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range for optimal color development and opacity?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired shade intensity, but BRS85 is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight — due to its strong tinting strength and high hiding power.
