A new technical brochure (TI 1459) that details the use of regular- and low-color Carbon Black Pigments dedicated to tinting applications in paints and coatings is now available from Orion Engineered Carbons. The 12-page brochure explains product and particle properties, coloristic properties and manufacturing processes, and includes a chart of relevant technical data for a range of products.
Through system diagrams, the brochure reviews the three ways that Carbon Black particles for tinting applications are manufactured: the Furnace Black Process, the Degussa Gas Black Process, and the Lamp Black Process. Each produces pigments with different structures, degrees of aggregation, and primary particle-size distributions. Pigments can also be after-treated to improve performance.
The coloristic properties outlined in the brochure include: jetness, as measured by blackness value MY, relative tint strength, and greyness value GY. Orion Engineered Carbons offers a variety of options for tinting applications in a wide range of coating systems. They are sold under several brand names including NEROX, PRINTEX, and PANTHER.
A copy of the brochure, titled “Carbon Black Pigments for Tinting Applications" (TI 1459), is available at www.oecliterature.com.
