Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay FERROTINT Red F2200?
A: Cathay FERROTINT Red F2200 is an iron oxide-based inorganic pigment, primarily composed of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃), engineered for high color strength, thermal stability, and UV resistance.
Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in high-temperature processing applications?
A: Yes — as a thermally stable inorganic oxide, F2200 maintains its color integrity and structural integrity during extrusion, calendering, and other high-temperature polymer processing steps commonly used in plastics and coatings.
Q3: How does F2200 compare to organic red pigments in terms of lightfastness and weather resistance?
A: F2200 offers significantly superior lightfastness and weather resistance compared to most organic red pigments, with excellent performance in outdoor applications where long-term color retention and minimal chalking are required.
Q4: Can F2200 be used in water-based systems such as architectural paints or latex dispersions?
A: Yes — F2200 is compatible with water-based formulations when properly dispersed using appropriate surfactants or dispersing agents; it delivers good tinting strength and stability in aqueous media.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range for achieving optimal coloration in plastic compounds?
A: Dosage depends on the base polymer, desired shade intensity, and processing method, but F2200 is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight — due to its high inherent opacity and coloring power.
