Q1: What is the primary function of Graphitan Vintage Black EH 1326 in coatings and plastics?
A: Graphitan Vintage Black EH 1326 is a high-performance graphite-based black pigment designed to deliver deep, velvety blackness with strong tinting strength and excellent lightfastness. It also imparts moderate electrical conductivity and thermal stability, making it suitable for functional and decorative applications where conventional carbon blacks may not meet aesthetic or performance requirements.
Q2: Is this pigment compatible with water-based systems?
A: Yes, Graphitan Vintage Black EH 1326 is specially surface-treated to ensure good dispersibility and stability in both aqueous and solvent-based formulations. Optimal performance in water-based systems typically requires appropriate dispersants and pH control during dispersion processing.
Q3: How does Graphitan Vintage Black EH 1326 differ from standard carbon black pigments?
A: Unlike conventional carbon blacks, EH 1326 is based on natural flake graphite, offering a distinct visual effect—softer sheen, subtle metallic undertones, and enhanced UV absorption. Its particle morphology and surface chemistry support improved rheology control and reduced flocculation tendency in demanding applications such as high-gloss automotive topcoats or engineering thermoplastics.
Q4: What are typical dosage levels when using this pigment?
A: Dosage depends on the desired shade depth, substrate, and application method, but it is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in final formulations—to achieve full opacity and optimal color development without compromising mechanical properties.
