Cathay CATHAYGRAN Green F17BGS Anti-corrosive Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary corrosion inhibition mechanism of CATHAYGRAN Green F17BGS?

A: CATHAYGRAN Green F17BGS functions primarily through passive film formation on metal substrates, leveraging its optimized inorganic composition to enhance barrier protection and promote surface passivation—particularly effective in low- to medium-corrosivity environments.


Q2: Is this pigment suitable for water-based coating systems?

A: Yes, CATHAYGRAN Green F17BGS is specifically engineered for compatibility with both solvent-borne and water-based anticorrosive coatings, including acrylic, epoxy, and polyurethane dispersions—offering good dispersion stability and minimal impact on rheology or drying behavior.


Q3: How does it compare to traditional zinc phosphate pigments in terms of environmental profile?

A: Unlike conventional zinc phosphate, CATHAYGRAN Green F17BGS is formulated without heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, or hexavalent chromium, aligning with evolving global regulatory expectations for safer, more sustainable anticorrosive additives.


Q4: What is the recommended dosage range for optimal performance?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and target performance level, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to total solids—to balance efficacy, cost, and coating properties.
