    The document discusses two specialty carbon black pigments, Emperor 1600 and Emperor 1200, which provide excellent color performance and dispersability. They enable deep black color with a blue undertone or excellent color performance and hiding power. These carbon blacks can reduce milling time, dispersant loading, and increase carbon black loading compared to competitive products.

    • Mc is the color dependent black value and was developed by K. Lippok-Lohmer. Mc is strongly correlated with the human perception of increased jetness
    • Mc = 100[log(Xn/X)-log(Zn/Z)+log(Yn/y)]
    EMPEROR® 1600 AND EMPEROR 1200 CARBON BLACKS PRODUCT GUIDE

    Achieving jet black color often means utilizing carbon black pigments that are extremely difficult to work with. In comparison to
    competitive products, our EMPEROR 1200 and 1600 products can enable higher carbon black loading in the millbase and reduce
    the amount of dispersant required to stabilize the pigment, all with more than 3x the bulk density of competitive products,
    reducing dust contamination in processing and improving industrial hygiene.

    EASE OF USE
    Pre-mix SOLVENT
    EMPEROR 1200 and 1600 carbon
    GRINDING RESIN
    blacks enable reduced milling time
    and reduced dispersant loading, CARBON BLACK
    both of which reduce overall cost.
    The following steps should be taken
    DISPERSANT
    in the pre-mix step to realize this
    benefit.
    Millbase formulation
    EMPEROR 1200 and 1600 carbon blacks enable reduced dispersant loading
    ◆ Soak pigments before
    and increased CB loading in the millbase compared to the leading competition.
    pre-mix to facilitate mixing
    Excess dispersing aid in the final formulation can result in higher total
    ◆ Pre-mix at high speed >1000 rpm formulation cost and poor color performance. Low millbase viscosity may result
    until homogeneous in poor carbon black dispersion quality.

    ◆ Typical dispersant loading for


    Finish formulation
    other carbon blacks is 20% - ◆ Pre-mix the masterbatch letdown
    50% by weight of carbon black. under good agitation
    EMPEROR 1600 and 1200 carbon ◆ Post add the millbase to the
    blacks can reduce dispersant masterbatch letdown under
    loading by up to 50% good agitation
    PRE-MIX ◆ Increase carbon black loading to ◆ Mix under good agitation
    at least 10% to achieve millbase until homogeneous solution
    Milling viscosity of 65-75 KU is achieved
    When compared to competitive
    products, EMPEROR 1200 and
    1600 carbon blacks typically
    require half the milling time.
    ◆ Pre-mix and then mix while MILL FINISH TO LETDOWN AND
    pumping into mill MILLBASE APPLICATION

    SOFTBEAD™ TECHNOLOGY
    EMPEROR 1600 and 1200 carbon blacks feature our proprietary Softbead™ technology.
    Softbead technology enables products to disperse as easily as powder-form carbon
    blacks while also improving industrial hygiene by reducing dust levels associated with the
    transport and processing of traditional powder-form carbon black. These new pigments also
    wet-out more quickly and are easier to convey than standard powders.

    We suggest reducing the dispersant loading in most formulations by up to 50%.
