The use of carbon black in paints and coatings has one main function: to achieve a specific color. Selecting the appropriate carbon black based only on analytical data is a challenging task. Data can provide parameters – such as particle size and structure – but data cannot give you a visual impression of what color will be achievable.

For this reason, we have developed the Carbon Black Guide, featuring 34 of our most popular carbon blacks used in the coatings industry. We believe a color is worth a thousand data. It gives you a first visual feeling which shade is achievable with which grade.
