Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Cathay Hoover 110NO Ochre?
A: Cathay Hoover 110NO is a synthetic iron oxide-based inorganic pigment, primarily composed of hydrated iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O₃·nH₂O), formulated to deliver consistent ochre hue, high opacity, and excellent thermal stability.
Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in exterior architectural coatings?
A: Yes — 110NO exhibits outstanding UV resistance, weatherfastness, and alkali stability, making it well-suited for exterior latex paints, stucco, and cementitious systems where long-term color retention under harsh environmental exposure is required.
Q3: How does 110NO perform in high-temperature processing applications?
A: As a thermally stable inorganic pigment, 110NO maintains its color integrity and structural integrity up to approximately 800 °C, supporting use in ceramic glazes, refractory coatings, and thermoset plastics processed at elevated temperatures.
Q4: Can this pigment be dispersed in both water-based and solvent-based systems?
A: Yes — 110NO is surface-treated for broad compatibility and can be effectively dispersed in aqueous polymer dispersions as well as common organic solvents and resin solutions, though optimal dispersion typically requires appropriate wetting agents and mechanical energy input.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range when using 110NO in industrial coatings?
A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity and film thickness, but 110NO is generally used at low concentrations — typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to the total formulation — due to its high tinting strength and hiding power.
