Cathay CATHAYPURE Red R5210 Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of CATHAYPURE Red R5210?

A: CATHAYPURE Red R5210 is a high-performance inorganic red pigment based on an iron oxide–modified spinel structure, engineered for thermal and chemical stability in demanding industrial applications.


Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in food-contact plastics or coatings?

A: CATHAYPURE Red R5210 is designed for general industrial applications and is not certified for direct food-contact use. Customers requiring compliance with food safety regulations must conduct full regulatory evaluation and validation per their target market requirements.


Q3: How does R5210 perform under high-temperature processing conditions?

A: This pigment exhibits excellent thermal stability, maintaining color integrity and dispersion performance during standard polymer processing operations including injection molding, extrusion, and calendering at temperatures up to 300°C.


Q4: Can R5210 be used in water-based systems such as architectural paints or ink formulations?

A: Yes — R5210 is compatible with both solvent-based and water-based systems when properly dispersed using recommended surfactants and milling techniques. Its surface treatment supports stable suspension in aqueous media without significant flocculation.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range for optimal color development in polyolefin applications?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired opacity, but R5210 is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight — to achieve strong red tones with good UV resistance and minimal impact on mechanical properties.
