Cathay CATHAYCOAT r PR225 Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of CATHAYCOAT® PR225?

A: CATHAYCOAT® PR225 is a high-performance inorganic pigment based on a stabilized iron oxide–chromium oxide composite system, engineered for exceptional thermal stability and UV resistance in demanding coating applications.


Q2: Is PR225 suitable for use in high-temperature curing systems, such as powder coatings or coil coatings?

A: Yes — PR225 is specifically formulated to retain color integrity and dispersion stability at elevated processing temperatures up to 250 °C, making it well-suited for thermoset powder coatings, coil coatings, and other high-bake industrial finishes.


Q3: How does PR225 compare to conventional red iron oxides in terms of weathering performance?

A: PR225 offers significantly improved resistance to chalking, fading, and gloss loss under prolonged UV exposure and cyclic humidity, due to its dense crystalline structure and surface stabilization—outperforming standard α-Fe₂O₃ pigments in exterior architectural and automotive OEM applications.


Q4: Can PR225 be used in waterborne industrial coatings without compromising dispersion stability or film appearance?

A: Yes — PR225 is compatible with both solvent-based and waterborne systems, including acrylic, epoxy, and polyurethane dispersions. Its optimized particle morphology and surface treatment support stable aqueous dispersions and contribute to uniform film formation with minimal settling.
