Cathay CATHAYTHERM YA22HR Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of CATHAYTHERM YA22HR?

A: CATHAYTHERM YA22HR is a high-performance inorganic pigment based on a stabilized mixed-metal oxide system, engineered for exceptional thermal stability and inertness in demanding polymer and coating applications.


Q2: Is YA22HR suitable for use in polyolefin compounds processed at high temperatures?

A: Yes — YA22HR is specifically formulated to retain color integrity and dispersion stability during high-temperature processing of polyolefins (e.g., PP, PE), including injection molding and extrusion up to 300°C.


Q3: How does YA22HR perform under UV exposure and outdoor weathering conditions?

A: As an inorganic pigment with inherent UV resistance, YA22HR delivers excellent long-term color retention and minimal fading in outdoor applications, particularly when compounded into weather-resistant polymer systems.


Q4: Can YA22HR be used in food-contact plastics?

A: While YA22HR exhibits high chemical inertness and low extractability, compliance with food-contact regulations depends on final formulation, processing conditions, and regional regulatory evaluation — users must conduct full regulatory assessment per applicable jurisdiction.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range for optimal color development and performance?

A: Dosage is formulation-dependent, but YA22HR is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight — to achieve strong tinting strength and thermal stability without compromising mechanical properties.
