Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay FERROTINT Red F3000?
A: Cathay FERROTINT Red F3000 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 pigment, Cathay FERROTINT Red F3000 maintains its color integrity and structural performance under typical polymer processing temperatures, including extrusion and injection molding of engineering plastics.
Q3: How does it compare to organic red pigments in terms of lightfastness and weather resistance?
A: Cathay FERROTINT Red F3000 offers significantly superior lightfastness and weather resistance compared to most organic reds, due to its inorganic crystalline structure — making it well-suited for outdoor applications and long-term color retention.
Q4: Can it be used in food-contact plastics or coatings?
A: Cathay FERROTINT Red F3000 is designed for industrial and general-purpose applications. For food-contact use, final regulatory compliance must be verified by the formulator based on applicable regional requirements and the full formulation matrix.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range when incorporating this pigment into polymer systems?
A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity and substrate opacity, but it is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in most thermoplastic and thermoset systems.
