Company record

General Carbon Co. produces superfine lampblack, an inorganic pigment powder used across paint, powder coating, sealants, adhesives, inks, plastics, polishing compounds, building products and other applications that benefit from high dispersibility and precise color performance. The material is offered in a typical particle‑size range of 100 to 160 nm and exhibits a natural blue undertone that supports clear tints, semi‑dull mass tones and consistent quality, delivering high tint ratings without the need for additives or post‑treatment processes. In addition, the pigment is water‑soluble, making it compatible with solvent‑based, waterborne and water‑base systems, while its ultra‑fine particles facilitate easy dispersion, reduce floating issues and provide resistance to agglomeration, seeding, thixotropy and degradation caused by UV light, acids and organic solvents.
