Cathay CATHAYMAG Brown MO2228 Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of CATHAYMAG Brown MO2228?

A: CATHAYMAG Brown MO2228 is a mixed-metal oxide pigment based on iron and manganese oxides, engineered for thermal and chemical stability in demanding industrial applications.


Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in polyolefin compounds exposed to high processing temperatures?

A: Yes — MO2228 exhibits excellent thermal stability and is routinely used in polypropylene and polyethylene masterbatches processed at temperatures up to 280°C without significant hue shift or degradation.


Q3: How does MO2228 perform under UV exposure and outdoor weathering conditions?

A: As an inorganic oxide pigment, MO2228 offers inherently high UV resistance and long-term weatherability, making it well-suited for exterior applications including automotive plastics and construction materials.


Q4: Can MO2228 be dispersed effectively in water-based systems?

A: While primarily designed for thermoplastic and solvent-based systems, MO2228 can be formulated into stable aqueous dispersions using appropriate surfactants and milling protocols — performance depends on the specific binder and pH environment.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range when using MO2228 in plastic coloration?

A: Dosage generally ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight, depending on the desired opacity, shade intensity, and polymer matrix — lower concentrations are often sufficient due to its strong tinting strength and high hiding power.
