Cathay FERROTINT Red F3310 Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay FERROTINT Red F3310?

A: Cathay FERROTINT Red F3310 is a high-performance inorganic iron oxide-based red pigment, primarily composed of α-Fe₂O₃ (hematite) with controlled particle morphology and surface treatment to enhance dispersion and stability in demanding applications.


Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in food-contact plastics or coatings?

A: Cathay FERROTINT Red F3310 is designed for industrial and general-purpose applications. While iron oxides are widely accepted in certain food-contact regulatory frameworks, formal compliance depends on final formulation, processing conditions, and regional regulatory evaluation—users must conduct full regulatory assessment per intended application and jurisdiction.


Q3: How does F3310 compare to organic red pigments in terms of heat stability?

A: As an inorganic iron oxide pigment, F3310 offers superior thermal stability compared to most organic reds—retaining color integrity well above 200 °C, making it especially suitable for high-temperature polymer processing (e.g., engineering thermoplastics) and ceramic glaze applications where organic alternatives would degrade.


Q4: What dispersion methods are recommended for optimal performance in solvent-based systems?

A: For solvent-based coatings and inks, pre-wetting with compatible solvents followed by high-shear dispersion (e.g., using bead mills or high-speed dissolvers) is recommended. The pigment’s surface treatment supports good wetting and stabilization in both polar and moderately non-polar media, reducing flocculation risk.
