Black is the new colour!

Dear Customers,

We are continuously looking for new products for strengthening our portfolio and bringing you more value.

Since middle of last year, we have started a collaboration with a producer of carbon black, Hangzhou Black Horse New Material Co., Ltd.

Hangzhou Black Horse New Material Co., Ltd is one of the leading manufacturers of specialty carbon black in China. Factory is located in Shanxi province, with a total annual capacity of 18,000MT, including furnace carbon black 14,000 MT/Year, gas process carbon black 3,000MT/Year, and surface special treated carbon black 1,000MT/Year.

Carbon black pigments are used in a bright range of applications, as illustrated below:

Picture1

High jetness grade mainly for automotive paint, industrial paint, powder coating, decorative paint, pigment paste, plastic, toner. Main grades: Carbon Black BH1600P and BH120P.

Picture2

Medium and regular jetness carbon black series for general purpose including water based and solvent based paint, powder coating, wood paint, interior and exterior wall paint. Main grades: Carbon Black BH1006P and BH500P.

Picture3

Commonly used in offset ink, gravure ink, flexo-ink, screen ink, glass ink, UV ink, inkjet ink, waterbased ink. Main grades: Carbon Black BH6200P and BH40P.

Many parameters influence the performance of the carbon black pigment, a few are listed below:

PROPERTY

INFLUENCE OF PROPERTY ON PERFORMANCE

Particle Size Distribution

Smaller Particle Size (Higher Surface Area)
Increases Jetness
Increases Tint
Increases UV Protection
Increases Electrical Conductivity
Increases Vehicle Demand and Viscosity
Reduces Dispersibility

Structure-Aggregate
Size/ Shape Distribution

Higher Structure (Increasing Oil Absorption)
Reduces Jetness and Tint
Improves Dispersibility
Increases Vehicle Demand and Viscosity
Increases Electric Conductivity

Porosity -Pore Size Distribution

Higher Porosity (Higher Ratio of NSA/STSA)
Increase Vehicle Demand and Viscosity
Increase Electrical Conductivity
Enables Reduced Loadings in Conductive Applications

Surface Chemistry-
Surface Functionality Distribution

Higher Surface Functionality (Higher Volatile Content)
Improves Vehicle Wetting
Reduces Viscosity of Liquid Systems
Lowers Electrical Conductivity
