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.
