Carbon black particles typically range from 10 to 500 nanometers in diameter. Particle surface area can be used to grade carbon black pigments; the particle surface area is the measure of total surface area of particles per unit mass (e.g. square meters per gram (m²/g)), and typically ranges from 10 to 1500 m²/g for carbon black pigments. Both particle size and particle surface area are important measures in the performance and physical properties of carbon black pigments. The smaller the particle diameter, the larger the particle surface area per unit mass.
The particle size and surface area per unit mass are crucial for defining and influencing the suitability of carbon blacks for their intended purpose. Carbon blacks with smaller particle diameter typically offer stronger colour/jetness, increased UV protection, enhanced conductivity, and greater viscosity in liquids. Larger sized carbon black particles can be easier to disperse and are ideal for when conductivity is not desired in applications.
The quality of carbon blacks can be determined by a number of factors, including particle size distribution and purity. Consistent particle size distribution is essential for consistency in performance and physical properties. Impurities from ash and grit can compromise physical properties, and are ideally avoided. Cabot Corporation is renowned for strict quality control measures and manufacturing standards, ensuring carbon black products comply with exacting expectations.
When selecting a carbon black pigment, it is essential to consider the intended application, the most important desired physical properties of the carbon black (e.g. jetness, UV protection, conductivity), and processing requirements for your business.
