Cathay Industries offers a range of high-quality heat resistant pigments under the brand name CATHAYTHERMTM. They are ideally suitable for wide range of high temperature applications, including masterbatches, thermal plastics, powder coatings, high-bake temperature industrial finishes, coil coatings, military coatings and specialty coatings.
CATHAYTHERMTM GA78M is a Chrome Oxide pigment which exhibits outstanding performance in terms of opacity, acid and alkali resistance, chemical resistance, exterior durability and compatibility. Calcination process used to produce CATHAYTHERMTM GA78M allows it to be thermally stable up to temperatures 1000ºC (1800ºF) or higher in some applications. It is highly micronized to offer easy dispersion with high-speed impeller (Cowles type) milling equipment or single & twin screw extruders as well.
Chrome Oxide Green should not be confused with the potentially toxic “Chrome Green” which is a blend of chrome yellow and iron blue.
