Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RA16B Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RA16B?

A: Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RA16B is an iron oxide-based inorganic pigment, formulated to deliver high thermal stability and consistent red hue through controlled crystalline structure and surface treatment.


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

A: Yes — RA16B is engineered for excellent heat resistance and retains color integrity under typical curing conditions used in coil, powder, and industrial baked enamel systems.


Q3: How does RA16B compare to organic red pigments in terms of UV resistance and weathering performance?

A: As an inorganic iron oxide pigment, RA16B offers inherently superior UV stability and long-term outdoor durability compared to most organic reds, making it well-suited for exterior architectural and industrial maintenance coatings.


Q4: Can RA16B be dispersed effectively in both water-based and solvent-based systems?

A: Yes — its optimized particle size distribution and surface characteristics support stable dispersion across a broad range of aqueous and organic media, though formulation-specific dispersants and milling protocols are recommended for optimal performance.
