Core Advantages

1. Ultra-low dispersion threshold, evenly wetted by low-speed disperser to cut grinding cost drastically.

2. Large particle soft blue undertone delivers natural grey shade without harsh tint.

3. Mild conductive property compatible with electrostatic toner system without charge instability interference.

4. Moderate fluffy dust ensures smooth automatic feeding without hopper bridging blockage.

5. Economical unit price controls production cost for mass light-grey ink & color paste manufacturing.

Main Application Fields

Core Applications: Web Offset Printing Ink, Electrostatic Copier Toner, Light-Grey Industrial Color Paste
Compatible Applications: Light-Grey Tinting for Powder Coating, General Plastic Grey Color Matching
Forbidden Scenarios: Food-contact products, High-Purity Pure Black Topcoat, Outdoor High Weather Resistance Coating

Handling Precautions

1. Only for grey & light black tinting; cannot be used alone to produce pure black coating.

2. Strict humidity control during storage; moisture sharply reduces wetting & dispersion speed.

3. Standard dosage: 1.8% ~ 4.5%.

Equip anti-static feeding device for toner production.
