NEROX® 3500 carbon black pigment is a Low Color Furnace Black (LCF) type. Apart from tinting and coloring, it imparts other desired performance properties such as UV protection, conductivity and special effects (thermal insulation or rheology control, respectively, when using as a reducing agent or an antioxidant). Used in fiber / filaments, PE & PVC pipes and high-voltage cables. Used for printing inks, masstone coloring in pure black coatings (e.g., in automotive basecoats), for tinting in gray coatings and paints (e.g., in decoration), and for light tinting in transparence coatings (e.g., for metallic effects and wood glazing). The use of oxidized pigment in solvent borne coatings and non or weak oxidized pigment in water borne coatings is recommended. It is also useful in powder and radiation curing coatings.
