Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RA15 Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RA15?

A: Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RA15 is an iron oxide-based inorganic pigment, formulated to deliver high thermal stability and strong chromatic performance in demanding industrial coating systems.


Q2: Is this pigment suitable for high-temperature curing applications?

A: Yes — RA15 exhibits excellent thermal stability and retains its color integrity during standard industrial baking cycles, including those exceeding 180 °C, making it well-suited for coil coatings, powder coatings, and automotive refinishing systems.


Q3: How does RA15 perform in UV-exposed outdoor applications?

A: As a fully inorganic oxide pigment, RA15 demonstrates outstanding lightfastness and weather resistance, with minimal fading or chalking under prolonged UV exposure — ideal for architectural metal coatings and exterior industrial finishes.


Q4: What is the typical dosage range when incorporating RA15 into solventborne and waterborne coating systems?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired opacity, but RA15 is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight — due to its high tinting strength and efficient dispersion characteristics.


Q5: Can RA15 be safely used in contact-sensitive applications such as metal packaging or food equipment coatings?

A: RA15 is non-toxic and compliant with general industrial safety guidelines for inorganic pigments; however, final regulatory compliance for specific end uses — including indirect food contact — must be verified through full system testing and adherence to applicable regional regulations.
