Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay FERROTINT Red F3330?
A: Cathay FERROTINT Red F3330 is an iron oxide-based inorganic pigment, primarily composed of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃), engineered for high chroma, thermal stability, and consistent particle morphology.
Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in polyolefin plastics such as PP and PE?
A: Yes — F3330 is specifically formulated for excellent dispersion and thermal stability in polyolefin systems, including injection-molded and extruded applications up to typical processing temperatures of 240–280°C.
Q3: How does F3330 compare to organic red pigments in terms of lightfastness and weather resistance?
A: As an inorganic iron oxide pigment, F3330 offers superior lightfastness, UV stability, and long-term outdoor durability compared to most organic reds — making it preferred for exterior applications where color retention under prolonged exposure is critical.
Q4: Can F3330 be used in water-based coatings without significant flocculation or viscosity issues?
A: Yes — when properly dispersed using conventional surfactants or dispersing agents, F3330 demonstrates good compatibility and rheological stability in aqueous architectural and industrial coating systems.
