Cathay CATHAYTHERM YA22XR Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for CATHAYTHERM YA22XR?

A: CATHAYTHERM YA22XR is specifically engineered for high-temperature applications in thermoplastic and thermoset polymers, including engineering plastics used in automotive under-hood components, LED encapsulation, and heat-resistant coatings where thermal stability and color retention above 280 °C are critical.


Q2: How does YA22XR perform under prolonged thermal exposure?

A: As a high-purity inorganic pigment based on mixed-metal oxide chemistry, YA22XR exhibits excellent resistance to thermal degradation and discoloration during extended processing and end-use at elevated temperatures, maintaining consistent hue and opacity without blooming or gas evolution in standard polymer melt processing.


Q3: Is YA22XR compatible with halogen-free flame-retardant systems?

A: Yes, YA22XR demonstrates good compatibility with common halogen-free flame retardants such as aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and phosphinate-based systems, with no observed adverse interaction affecting dispersion stability or flame performance in compounded formulations.


Q4: What is the recommended dispersion method for optimal color development?

A: For best results, YA22XR should be incorporated using high-shear compounding—such as twin-screw extrusion—with residence time and temperature profiles optimized for the host polymer. Pre-dispersion in carrier resins or masterbatch preparation is strongly advised to ensure uniform distribution and maximize tinting strength.


Q5: Does YA22XR contain heavy metals regulated under RoHS or REACH?

A: CATHAYTHERM YA22XR is formulated without lead, cadmium, mercury, or hexavalent chromium, and complies with current RoHS Directive restrictions and REACH SVHC screening criteria for general industrial use; full regulatory documentation is available upon request for specific regional compliance verification.
