Carbon Black Pigment show their superiority in special effects. Typical special effects can be found in the areas of thermal insulation or rheology control, respectively, when using as a reducing agent or an antioxidant.
Conductivity and antistatic effects can be comprised by a great variety of Carbon Black Pigments. After reaching a specific concentration nearly all Carbon Black Pigments comprise conductivity. The so-called percolation curve is a result of the carbon - carbon interactions inside a matrix.
Relatively coarse particles characterize the Carbon Blacks utilized in the Construction Industry.
The Paper Industry uses Pigment Carbon Black with medium-sized particles mainly for decorative and photo-protective products.
