Its high structure coupled with low surface area make it one of the easiest to disperse carbon blacks. Printing Inks BLACK PEARLS 280 is a high structure general purpose pigment black that is broadly applicable in a variety of inks. It is particularly suitable for lithographic and gravure printing where a matte finish is required. Also, this pigment black offers very blue undertone, excellent hold out or lay with excellent dispersibility. Coatings This pigment black can be used in a variety of coatings applications. It is recommended for underbody/underhood automotive, general industrial, or architectural trade sales applications where high jetness is not required. It is also recommended for use as a tinting black since the relatively large particle size allows for high loading while the high structure allows less mobility in the wet film of the applied coating. This reduces problems with floating and flooding in liquid tinting applications. It can be dispersed using a high speed disperser or sandmill for liquid coatings or a single screw extruder for powder coatings. Low color pigment black.
