Carbon Black FW200
Carbon Black FW200 (CAS 1333-86-4) is a high-performance pigment known for its exceptional jetness and UV protection.
Description
Carbon Black FW200 is a finely divided form of amorphous carbon, produced through the incomplete combustion of heavy petroleum products including coal tar. It is characterized by its high surface area, fine primary particle size, and unique aggregate structure, which collectively contribute to its superior performance as a pigment. This specific grade exhibits excellent jetness, making it highly valued in applications requiring intense black coloration and enhanced color depth. Its particle morphology also imparts significant UV absorbing properties, offering valuable photoprotection to degrade-sensitive matrices. The manufacturing process of FW200 is carefully controlled to ensure consistent quality and dispersion characteristics, which are critical for achieving optimal performance in various formulations. This particular carbon black type is renowned for its low tinting strength ratio relative to its high jetness, which is beneficial in achieving rich, unadulterated black tones without excessive grey undertones. Its inherent chemical inertness ensures good compatibility with a wide range of polymers, resins, and binders, contributing to the long-term stability and integrity of the final product. It is a specialty carbon black, designed for demanding applications where color performance and material protection are paramount.
Applications
Carbon Black FW200 finds extensive use across various industrial sectors due to its superior pigmentary and protective qualities. In the coatings industry, it is employed in automotive finishes, industrial coatings, and architectural paints to achieve deep black hues and provide UV stability. The ink industry utilizes FW200 for high-quality printing inks, including gravure, flexographic, and offset inks, where excellent jetness and print density are required. In plastics, it serves as a colorant for engineering plastics, masterbatches, and films, imparting both color and UV resistance. It is also used in synthetic fibers, toners, and specialty adhesives where high color intensity and material protection are critical for product performance and longevity.
Storage & Handling
Store Carbon Black FW200 in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Keep containers tightly closed to prevent dust generation and contamination. Avoid direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Use appropriate personal protective equipment during handling to prevent inhalation and skin contact.
