Carbon black pigments to add value to your formulations

Carbon black pigments to add value to your formulations

Friday, 12 June, 2026

In paint formulation, the selection of carbon black is a critical factor, as it directly influences properties such as colour intensity, ease of dispersion, viscosity, gloss and the final finish.

Parameters including particle size, aggregate structure and pigment surface chemistry determine its behaviour during dispersion and its impact on system performance, affecting both formulation stability and the final appearance of the coating.

At Comindex –part of IMPAG Group– we offer carbon black pigments from PCBL Chemical, one of the world’s leading manufacturers, with a product range specifically developed to meet the technical requirements of paint and coating formulations.

NuTone^®
Powder grades specially designed to deliver excellent colour development, good dispersibility, stability and viscosity control in formulations. Their optimised morphology helps improve process efficiency while providing consistency and stability in conventional paints and coatings.
NuTone is designed for a wide range of applications, including inks, decorative and architectural paints, industrial coatings, adhesives and sealants.

Royale Black^®
An ideal range for applications requiring deep black colour, high colour intensity, high gloss and excellent UV resistance. It is specifically designed for higher-value formulations where aesthetics and performance are key requirements.
This range has been developed for high-value applications such as plastics injection moulding and extrusion, cables and pipes, and premium-quality inks.

Bleumina^®
Fine-particle grades designed to provide high opacity, excellent dispersibility and an attractive balance between aesthetics and durability. They stand out for their UV protection, gloss and outstanding colour development.
These grades are suitable for use in a wide range of polymers, including both engineering and commodity polymers. Key application areas include automotive interiors and exteriors, consumer electronics, household appliances, coatings and many other specialised applications.

PCBL offers a comprehensive portfolio that helps optimise both the formulation process and the final performance of the paint system.
