Cathay CATHAYRED RA13YD Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of CATHAYRED RA13YD?

A: CATHAYRED RA13YD 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 processing environments.


Q2: Is CATHAYRED RA13YD suitable for use in food-contact plastics?

A: Yes — it is formulated to comply with general food-contact safety expectations for inorganic pigments in polyolefins and engineering thermoplastics, subject to final regulatory review by the end-user’s compliance team and applicable regional requirements.


Q3: How does RA13YD perform under high-temperature processing conditions?

A: It exhibits excellent thermal stability up to 300°C, maintaining color integrity and minimal degradation during standard extrusion and injection molding of polypropylene, polyethylene, and ABS — making it well-suited for applications requiring extended melt residence time.


Q4: What dispersion methods are recommended for optimal performance in polymer systems?

A: Pre-dispersion via high-shear compounding or masterbatch dilution is strongly recommended; the pigment responds well to conventional twin-screw extrusion and achieves uniform distribution without requiring specialized surface treatments in most non-polar matrices.
