Cathay CATHAYTHERM RA15HR Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for CATHAYTHERM RA15HR?

A: CATHAYTHERM RA15HR is specifically engineered for high-temperature applications in thermoset and thermoplastic polymer systems, including engineering plastics, powder coatings, and heat-resistant masterbatches where long-term thermal stability and color retention are critical.


Q2: How does RA15HR perform under prolonged thermal exposure?

A: This pigment exhibits excellent thermal stability, maintaining consistent hue and opacity during processing and end-use at temperatures up to approximately 350°C, with minimal color shift or decomposition in inert or mildly oxidative atmospheres.


Q3: Is RA15HR compatible with common engineering resins such as PEEK, PEI, and polyimides?

A: Yes — RA15HR demonstrates good compatibility and dispersion stability in high-performance thermoplastics and thermosets, including polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyetherimide (PEI), and aromatic polyimides, without adversely affecting mechanical or electrical properties when properly compounded.


Q4: What is the typical dosage range for achieving optimal color strength and thermal performance?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired opacity, but it is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight — with efficient tinting strength and minimal impact on melt viscosity or thermal degradation onset.
