IRON OXIDES

Iron oxides are CATHAY INDUSTRIES' core business. As the second largest iron oxide manufacturer in the world, CATHAY INDUSTRIES provides a wide range of iron oxide pigments from economical grades for construction applications, to high-quality CATHAYCOATTM for top coating, and the highest-purity CATHAYPURETM for cosmetics.

CHROME OXIDES

Chrome Oxide Green pigments from CATHAY INDUSTRIES are a range of high-quality inorganic green pigments. They are produced to strict quality standard and offer reliable performance, including:

- outstanding light-fastness
- high opacity
- excellent chemical resistance
- exterior durability

From the micronized and standard grades to the construction grades, CATHAY INDUSTRIES provides a full range of Chrome Oxide Green pigments for different industries with diverse requirements.

Chrome Oxide Green pigments must not be confused with the potentially toxic “Chrome Green,” which is a blend of chrome yellow and iron blue that CATHAY INDUSTRIES does not produce.

TITANIUM DIOXIDE

Titanium Dioxide pigments add brightness, whiteness and opacity to thousands of products, from household decorative paints and industrial coatings, to ocean liners, cars and steel-framed buildings, to computer housing, sporting equipment and printing inks. CATHAY INDUSTRIES offers two types of Titanium Dioxide for different applications, Rutile and Anatase.

HEAT STABLE FERRITES

Heat stable ferrites: CATHAY INDUSTRIES produces two mixed metal oxide types, Manganese Ferrite and Zinc Ferrite. Both are made with high-temperature calcination and are heat stable for use in applications with temperature changes. These products are offered under the name of CATHAYTHERMTM.

EnvironOxide©

Through its Division Hoover Color the CATHAY Group offers transparent iron oxides obtained through a unique process, recovered from abandoned mine drainage through a waste elimination process that results in clean water. They can color a wide range of products including paints and coatings, plastics, paper, mulch and more. Contrary to synthetic transparent iron oxides, these EnvironOxide products show an outstanding dispersibility which reduces the dispersing process to the use of a high speed disperser.
