Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay FERROTINT Red F3320?
A: Cathay FERROTINT Red F3320 is an inorganic iron oxide-based red pigment, primarily composed of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃), engineered for high thermal stability and consistent chromatic performance in demanding industrial applications.
Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in food-contact plastics or coatings?
A: While F3320 meets general requirements for low heavy metal content and is widely used in non-food industrial coatings and construction materials, it is not pre-qualified for direct food-contact applications under global regulatory frameworks unless specifically validated by the end-user’s compliance team and supported by full migration testing.
Q3: How does F3320 perform under high-temperature processing conditions?
A: As a thermally stable inorganic oxide pigment, F3320 retains its color integrity and structural stability during standard polymer compounding, extrusion, and baking processes up to approximately 800°C in inert atmospheres — making it suitable for ceramic glazes, high-heat coatings, and engineering thermoplastics.
Q4: Can F3320 be dispersed effectively in water-based systems?
A: Yes — F3320 is compatible with aqueous dispersions when used with appropriate dispersants and pH stabilization. Its surface treatment allows for good wetting and stabilization in architectural paints, cementitious systems, and waterborne industrial coatings, though optimal dispersion requires formulation-specific optimization.
