Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RS11 Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RS11?

A: Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RS11 is a high-performance inorganic pigment based on modified iron oxide and complex metal oxide chemistry, engineered for enhanced thermal stability and color consistency in demanding coating systems.


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

A: Yes — RS11 is specifically formulated to retain its red hue and dispersion integrity at elevated processing temperatures, making it well-suited for thermoset powder coatings, pre-treatment primers, and continuous coil coating lines where thermal exposure exceeds 180°C.


Q3: How does RS11 compare to organic red pigments in terms of weathering resistance?

A: As an inorganic pigment, RS11 offers significantly superior UV stability and long-term color retention compared to most organic reds, especially in exterior architectural and industrial maintenance coatings exposed to prolonged sunlight and moisture.


Q4: Can RS11 be used in water-based coating systems without compromising dispersion stability?

A: Yes — RS11 is surface-treated to ensure good compatibility and stable dispersion in both water-based acrylic and polyurethane dispersions, though optimal performance requires appropriate dispersant selection and milling protocols during formulation.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range for RS11 in industrial coating formulations?

A: Dosage depends on the required opacity, chroma, and substrate coverage, but RS11 is generally used at low concentrations — typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in finished coating systems.
