Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RS12B Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RS12B?

A: Cathay CATHAYCOAT Red RS12B 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 this pigment suitable for high-temperature curing processes, such as coil coating or powder coating?

A: Yes — RS12B is specifically formulated to retain color integrity and dispersion stability under elevated processing temperatures, making it well-suited for industrial curing cycles commonly used in coil, powder, and ceramic-based coatings.


Q3: How does RS12B compare to organic red pigments in terms of weather resistance and UV stability?

A: As an inorganic pigment, RS12B offers significantly superior resistance to UV degradation, chalking, and long-term color shift compared to most organic reds — especially in exterior architectural and industrial maintenance coatings exposed to harsh environmental conditions.


Q4: What types of binder systems is RS12B compatible with?

A: RS12B demonstrates broad compatibility with common industrial resin systems including acrylics, polyesters, epoxies, alkyds, and silicone-modified binders — both in solvent-borne and water-borne formulations.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range when using RS12B in protective coatings?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired opacity, but RS12B is generally used at low concentrations — typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight — due to its strong tinting strength and high hiding power.
