A new 20-page brochure from Orion Engineered Carbons discusses coloristic properties of carbon black pigments in full tone and tinting applications. In addition to describing the Carbon Black manufacturing process, it covers the basics of colorimetry, including blackness value MY, CIE L*a*b* color space and degree of reflection.
The brochure charts and graphs coloristic properties of Carbon Black pigments in full tone coating applications according to five influencing parameters: mean primary particle size, measuring conditions, form of delivery, functionalized pigment surface and pigment concentration. It also discusses coloristic properties of Carbon Black pigments in grey coatings such as tint and tinting strength, greyness value GY, and relative tint strength.
