Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay FERROTINT Green F18?
A: Cathay FERROTINT Green F18 is a mixed-metal oxide pigment based on iron and chromium oxides, engineered to deliver stable green coloration with high thermal and lightfastness.
Q2: Is this pigment suitable for high-temperature polymer processing applications?
A: Yes — FERROTINT Green F18 exhibits excellent thermal stability and is routinely used in engineering thermoplastics such as polyamide, polypropylene, and polyester processed at temperatures up to 300°C without significant color shift or decomposition.
Q3: How does FERROTINT Green F18 compare to organic green pigments in terms of weather resistance?
A: As an inorganic pigment, F18 offers significantly superior UV resistance and long-term outdoor durability compared to most organic greens, making it preferred for exterior applications including architectural coatings and automotive plastics exposed to prolonged sunlight.
Q4: Can this pigment be used in food-contact plastic applications?
A: While FERROTINT Green F18 complies with general safety requirements for inorganic colorants, its suitability for food-contact use depends on final formulation, regulatory jurisdiction, and end-product testing — users must validate compliance with applicable local food safety regulations before implementation.
