Stronger Visual Impact

Are you interested in providing your partners with the deepest black coatings? Cabot's product portfolio includes high color strength carbon black pigments for water-borne or solvent-borne systems. When properly formulated, these pigments give the highest level of black color performance.

Black color is created when a coated surface absorbs light across the entire frequency spectrum of visible light. Because no light is reflected, the coated surface appears black. To increase the intensity of black color in a coating, the coating formulator needs to increase the ability of the coating to absorb visible light. This is accomplished by selecting a small particle size black pigment and dispersing it throughout the coating system. Small particle size pigments have high surface areas and thus, absorb lots of visible light.

Cabot's Carbon Black portfolio includes pigments with the smallest particle sizes available today. These small particle size pigments can deliver the highest level of black color performance.

To optimize performance of these pigments, Cabot modifies the pigment surface to enable pigment dispersion in the coating formulation. Different pigment treatment technology enables solutions to be found for both water-borne and solvent-borne systems.
