Cathay CATHAYGRAN Black F9610GS Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of CATHAYGRAN Black F9610GS?

A: CATHAYGRAN Black F9610GS is a high-performance inorganic black pigment based on mixed metal oxides, engineered for thermal and chemical stability. Its exact formulation is proprietary, but it contains no elemental carbon or organic dyes, ensuring consistent performance in demanding processing environments.

Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in polyolefin compounds processed at high temperatures?

A: Yes — F9610GS is specifically designed for high-temperature polymer applications, including polypropylene and polyethylene. It demonstrates excellent thermal stability during extrusion and injection molding, with minimal color shift or degradation up to typical processing temperatures for these resins.

Q3: How does F9610GS compare to carbon black in terms of UV resistance and dispersion behavior?

A: Unlike carbon black, F9610GS offers superior UV inertness and does not promote polymer photo-oxidation. It also exhibits good dispersibility in both molten polymers and masterbatch systems, though optimal dispersion typically requires standard compounding equipment and appropriate shear profiles.

Q4: Can this pigment be used in food-contact compliant formulations?

A: F9610GS is formulated to meet general requirements for non-toxicity and heavy metal compliance in pigmented plastics. However, final regulatory acceptance for food-contact applications depends on the complete formulation, processing conditions, and applicable regional regulations — users must conduct full regulatory verification for their specific end-use.

Q5: What is the recommended dosage range for achieving deep black shades in engineering thermoplastics?

A: Dosage depends on the base polymer, desired opacity, and processing method, but F9610GS is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight — to achieve rich, neutral black tones with excellent tinting strength and low haze.
