Cathay CATHAYCOAT Yellow YS21LV Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay CATHAYCOAT Yellow YS21LV?

A: YS21LV is a high-performance inorganic yellow pigment based on modified lead chromate-free mixed metal oxides, engineered for excellent thermal stability and lightfastness in demanding industrial applications.


Q2: Is YS21LV suitable for use in coatings exposed to high-temperature curing processes?

A: Yes — YS21LV is specifically formulated for thermal stability and retains its color integrity during standard industrial baking cycles up to 250°C, making it well-suited for coil coating, powder coating, and automotive OEM applications.


Q3: How does YS21LV compare to organic yellow pigments in terms of weather resistance?

A: As an inorganic pigment, YS21LV offers significantly superior UV resistance, chalking resistance, and long-term color retention compared to most organic yellows—especially in exterior architectural and transportation coatings subjected to prolonged sunlight exposure.


Q4: Can YS21LV be used in water-based coating systems?

A: Yes — YS21LV is surface-treated for good dispersibility in both solvent-borne and water-based systems, including acrylic and polyurethane dispersions. Optimal performance requires proper dispersion using high-shear mixing or bead milling.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range for YS21LV in industrial coatings?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired opacity, but YS21LV is generally effective at low concentrations — typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in finished coating systems.
