Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RC13 Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RC13?

A: Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RC13 is an iron oxide-based inorganic pigment, formulated to deliver high thermal stability and consistent chromatic performance in demanding coating systems.


Q2: Is RC13 suitable for high-temperature curing applications, such as coil coatings or powder coatings?

A: Yes — RC13 exhibits excellent thermal stability and retains its color integrity under typical industrial baking conditions up to 250 °C, making it well-suited for coil coatings, powder coatings, and other heat-cured systems.


Q3: How does RC13 perform in UV-exposed outdoor applications?

A: As a fully inorganic iron oxide pigment, RC13 offers outstanding UV resistance and weatherfastness, with minimal risk of fading or chalking when properly dispersed and incorporated into durable resin systems.


Q4: What are the recommended dispersion methods for optimal color development and stability?

A: For best results, RC13 should be dispersed using high-shear mixing or bead milling in compatible solvents or binder vehicles. Pre-wetting and gradual addition help prevent agglomeration and ensure uniform distribution throughout the formulation.


Q5: Can RC13 be used in waterborne coating systems?

A: Yes — RC13 is compatible with both solvent-borne and waterborne systems, including acrylic, epoxy, and polyurethane dispersions, provided appropriate dispersants and pH stabilization are employed during formulation.
