Cathay Masterbatch Red EP2100VA Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of the red pigment in EP2100VA?

A: EP2100VA is based on a high-performance inorganic iron oxide–derived red pigment system, engineered for thermal stability and chemical inertness. It does not contain cadmium, lead, or other heavy metals restricted under major global regulatory frameworks.


Q2: Is EP2100VA suitable for food-contact plastic applications?

A: Yes — EP2100VA is formulated to meet general requirements for food-contact compliance in polyolefins and engineering thermoplastics. Final regulatory acceptance depends on the complete formulation, processing conditions, and target market regulations; users should conduct full migration and extractables testing as part of their due diligence.


Q3: How does EP2100VA perform during high-temperature processing, such as injection molding of PP or PA6?

A: The pigment system exhibits excellent thermal stability up to 280 °C, making it well-suited for demanding processes including injection molding and extrusion of polypropylene, polyamide, and other engineering resins. Minimal color shift or degradation is observed under standard industrial processing windows.


Q4: What carrier resin is used in this masterbatch, and can it be customized?

A: EP2100VA is supplied on a polyethylene-based carrier optimized for broad compatibility with polyolefin systems. Custom carrier options — including PP, EVA, or PS — are available upon request to improve dispersion and performance in specific polymer matrices.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range for achieving full opacity and consistent shade in polyolefin applications?

A: Dosage is formulation-dependent, but EP2100VA is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight — to achieve strong chroma and opacity. Optimal loading should be determined through small-scale trials considering base resin, desired shade intensity, and processing method.
