Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RC11B Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RC11B?

A: Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RC11B is a high-performance inorganic red pigment based on a stabilized iron oxide–chromium oxide composite system, engineered for thermal and chemical robustness in demanding coating applications.


Q2: Is RC11B suitable for use in high-temperature curing coatings?

A: Yes — RC11B exhibits excellent thermal stability and retains its color integrity during typical industrial baking cycles up to 250°C, making it well-suited for coil coatings, automotive refinish primers, and powder coating systems.


Q3: How does RC11B perform in acidic or alkaline environments?

A: RC11B demonstrates strong resistance to both mild acidic and alkaline conditions due to its fully calcined inorganic matrix, supporting reliable performance in architectural paints, protective marine coatings, and cementitious systems.


Q4: Can RC11B be used in waterborne coating formulations?

A: Yes — RC11B is compatible with common waterborne acrylic, epoxy, and polyurethane dispersions; dispersion stability and color development are optimized using standard anionic or nonionic dispersants and appropriate milling protocols.
