Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RS11B?
A: Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RS11B is a high-performance inorganic red pigment based on a stabilized iron oxide–chromium oxide composite system, engineered for enhanced thermal stability and chemical resistance.
Q2: Is this pigment suitable for high-temperature coating applications such as coil coatings or powder coatings?
A: Yes — RS11B is specifically formulated for demanding high-temperature curing processes, including coil coating lines and thermoset powder coatings, where it maintains excellent color integrity and dispersion stability up to 250°C.
Q3: How does RS11B compare to organic red pigments in terms of weathering resistance?
A: As an inorganic pigment, RS11B offers significantly superior UV stability, chalking resistance, and long-term color retention compared to most organic reds—making it well-suited for exterior architectural and industrial maintenance coatings.
Q4: Can RS11B be used in water-based systems without compromising dispersion or tinting strength?
A: Yes — RS11B is surface-treated to ensure good wettability and stable dispersion in both water-based acrylic and polyurethane dispersions, delivering consistent tinting strength and minimal settling during storage.
Q5: What is the recommended dosage range for optimal performance in solvent-borne industrial coatings?
A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements, but RS11B is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight — to achieve full opacity and chromatic intensity while maintaining film integrity.
