Binder

A binder is a broad category of substances—organic or inorganic—used to hold different materials together in a cohesive mass. Common binders include natural polymers (starch, cellulose derivatives, proteins), synthetic resins (PVA, acrylics, phenolics), and inorganic binders (clays, cement, lime). They are essential in industries such as pharmaceuticals, construction, coatings, ceramics, adhesives, and printing, where they provide structural integrity, adhesion, and controlled release properties.

Carbon Black

Original price was: $ 55.33.Current price is: $ 53.67.

Carbon Black Concentrate Dispersions are homogeneous, ready-to-use formulations consisting of high-quality carbon black uniformly dispersed in a compatible liquid or solid carrier system. These products are engineered to deliver precise, repeatable carbon black loading levels at concentrations of 15%, 25%, 40%, and 50%, enabling manufacturers to achieve consistent jetness, tint strength, UV protection, electrical conductivity, and reinforcement across a wide range of industrial applications. Each variant is identified by a unique product code (169FF, 121FF, 13FF, 32PP) denoting the specific carbon black grade, with the percentage indicating the exact weight concentration of carbon black in the dispersion. These products eliminate the handling hazards, dust contamination, and dispersion inconsistencies associated with raw powdered carbon black, while significantly improving manufacturing efficiency, color matching, and end-product performance. They are designed to be "let down" (diluted) into a compatible base material at recommended ratios to achieve the target carbon black level for specific formulation requirements. These are industrial-grade products and are not intended for food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic applications unless explicitly certified otherwise.
