Cathay CATHAYRED RA11YC Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of CATHAYRED RA11YC?

A: CATHAYRED RA11YC is a high-performance inorganic red pigment based on a modified iron oxide–chromium oxide solid solution system, engineered for enhanced thermal stability and color consistency in demanding applications.


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

A: Yes — CATHAYRED RA11YC is formulated to meet general regulatory expectations for pigments in food-contact polyolefins and engineering thermoplastics, subject to final compliance verification by the compounder or end-user under applicable regional frameworks.


Q3: How does RA11YC perform under high-temperature processing conditions?

A: This pigment demonstrates excellent thermal stability, retaining its red hue and dispersion integrity during standard melt processing of polypropylene, polyethylene, and ABS up to 280°C, with minimal risk of blooming or color shift.


Q4: What are the recommended dispersion methods for optimal performance?

A: For best results, pre-disperse using high-shear compounding or twin-screw extrusion; masterbatch dilution is strongly recommended. Avoid prolonged dry blending without subsequent melt processing to ensure uniform distribution and full color development.


Q5: Can RA11YC be used alongside organic pigments or other inorganic colorants in multi-pigment systems?

A: Yes — RA11YC exhibits good compatibility with common organic reds, yellows, and titanium dioxide in co-pigmented systems, though preliminary compatibility testing is advised to confirm absence of adverse interactions such as chromatic deviation or reduced heat stability.
