Sustainable Additives for Carbon Black
Borregaard offers a wide portfolio of high-performance, sustainable lignosulfonates for carbon materials:
- Binders for carbon black densification (pelleting, granulation).
- Dispersants and milling aids for water-based carbon black solutions.
- Binders for activated carbon production.
Carbon black is essentially elemental carbon in the form of colloidal particles, which when produced is of quite low density. For handling, it is normally granulated or pelletised using binders such as those we offer.
Carbon black is used in several different applications in paints, printing inks and coatings to enhance physical, optical or electrical properties. For these applications, our lignin-based dispersants will provide suitable rheology for your water-based slurry formulations.
Our lignosulfonates can also be used as sustainable binding agents for activated carbon, either as part of a formulation or as standalone products.
Carbon black pelleting and granulation
Borregaard offer a wide portfolio of sustainable binders and milling aids for your virgin or recovered carbon black formulations.
Pigments
Bio-based aqueous dispersants for dyes and pigments, including carbon black, that will help you increase milling efficiency and loading while reducing initial viscosity.
