Core Performance Advantages

1. Softbead granulation creates far less dust than powder carbon black for better workshop environment.

2. Surface modified for solvent resins, fast wetting speed for acrylic, PU and polyester resins.

3. Balanced blackness & blue tone; deep black effect without additional color matching for single-component solvent topcoats.

4. Compatible with high loading ratio to optimize formula cost.

5. Stable batch-to-batch color difference, suitable for continuous coil & automotive spraying production lines.

Main Application Scenarios

Core applications: OEM solvent automotive paint, automotive refinish paint, coil coating, high-grade solvent industrial baking paint
Compatible applications: Solvent black color paste, mid-to-high grade solvent printing ink, electronic plastic solvent topcoat
Not recommended: Independent use in pure waterborne systems, articles for food contact

Usage Notes

1. Pre-mix and wet before high-speed dispersion even in pellet form to avoid undissolved particles causing surface specks.

2. Store hermetically in dry warehouse; damp pellets break easily and produce dust.

3. Test system viscosity in advance for high-solid formulas.

4. Standard addition dosage: 1.2%~3.5%.
