Cathay CATHAYGRAN Red F2200GS Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of CATHAYGRAN Red F2200GS?

A: CATHAYGRAN Red F2200GS is an iron oxide–based inorganic pigment, primarily composed of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃), engineered for high thermal stability and consistent red hue in demanding processing environments.


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

A: Yes — F2200GS is specifically formulated for excellent thermal stability and is widely used in polypropylene and polyethylene applications, including injection molding and extrusion processes where peak temperatures exceed 260°C.


Q3: How does F2200GS perform in terms of UV resistance and weathering stability?

A: As a fully inorganic iron oxide pigment, F2200GS exhibits outstanding UV resistance and long-term weathering stability, making it well-suited for outdoor applications without significant fading or chalking under prolonged sunlight exposure.


Q4: Can F2200GS be used in food-contact plastic formulations?

A: CATHAYGRAN Red F2200GS is manufactured to meet general purity requirements for pigments intended for indirect food-contact applications; however, final regulatory compliance depends on the full formulation, processing conditions, and applicable regional regulations — users must conduct their own due diligence and validation.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range for achieving optimal color strength in polymer systems?

A: Dosage is formulation-dependent, but F2200GS is generally effective at low concentrations — typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight — with excellent dispersion behavior and minimal impact on mechanical properties when properly compounded.
