A new technical brochure from Orion Engineered Carbons details the product specifications and application recommendations for 36 Carbon Black pigments for solvent-borne and water-borne coating systems.
The 6-page color brochure shows the influence of particle size, structure, and aftertreatment on colorimetric and performance properties such as degree of blackness, hue, jetness, viscosity, pigment black loading, dispersibility, electrical conductivity and gloss. A quadrant graphic shows how the combination of pigment structure and particle size affect carbon black characteristics.
The brochure discusses and recommends important carbon black properties for coating applications such as high-jetness automotive base coat, general industrial, electrodeposition and powder coating systems. It also describes the ability of carbon black pigments to tint coatings and impart electrical conductivity. In addition to providing a glossary, the brochure details the capabilities of the Orion analytical and application laboratories for coatings.
