Carbon Black
Carbon black is a finely divided carbon used as a reinforcing filler and pigment in industrial systems.
Description
Primary particle size and aggregate structure affect tint strength, conductivity, and reinforcement. Handling follows dust control and housekeeping practices appropriate for fine powders.
Applications
- Reinforcement in rubber and polymer systems
- Pigment in inks, coatings, and plastics
- Conductive fillers in specialty applications
Packaging
- Bags on pallets or bulk bags with product and batch labels
- Minimize dust release during handling
- Protect packaging from puncture
Storage
- Store dry and ventilated; keep sealed when not in use
- Avoid ignition sources in dusty environments
- FIFO to maintain lot consistency
