Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay CATHAYPURE Red R2190?
A: Cathay CATHAYPURE Red R2190 is an iron oxide-based inorganic pigment, primarily composed of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃), engineered for high chroma, thermal stability, and consistent particle morphology.
Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in food-contact plastics or packaging applications?
A: Cathay CATHAYPURE Red R2190 is designed for general industrial applications and complies with common regulatory frameworks for inorganic pigments. For food-contact use, final compliance must be verified by the formulator based on applicable regional regulations and full system testing.
Q3: How does R2190 perform under high-temperature processing conditions?
A: As a thermally stable inorganic oxide pigment, R2190 maintains its color integrity and structural integrity during standard polymer processing—including injection molding, extrusion, and compounding—at temperatures up to approximately 350 °C, depending on residence time and atmosphere.
Q4: What dispersion methods are recommended for optimal performance in polymer systems?
A: For best results, pre-dispersion using high-shear mixing or twin-screw compounding is recommended. The pigment responds well to conventional dispersing aids and carrier resins, and typically achieves uniform distribution at low concentrations in both crystalline and amorphous thermoplastics.
