Industrial Carbon Black

Industrial carbon blacks are used in a wide variety of applications, including printing inks, toners, coatings, plastics, paper, and building products. Purposes for using industrial carbon black include pigmentary, electrical, UV absorption, and rheological properties. The selection of a specific carbon black application depends on the end-product requirements, as well as on processing conditions.

Carbon black's important fundamental characteristics are particle size, structure, porosity, and surface activity. Controlling combinations of these properties creates carbon blacks fine-tuned to their end-use applications.
