How to improve the dispersity of carbon black（Color Black Pigment）

Carbon black is the best black pigment with excellent coloring power and covering power.it is widely used in coating,paint,color paste,color master batch,ink...However color black is the most difficult to disperse compared with other color pigment.For the new users of carbon black,especially for those to produce water based products  such as water-based pigment paste,water-based ink ,water-based coating,water based paint, they may run into troubles on how to improve the dispersion of color black .They may find the carbon black powder floating on the liquid or flocculated in the liquid.. Those are some manifestations of color black is unevenly dispersed.

The factors influencing the dispersity of carbon black.

1. The particle size of carbon black.If the color black with smaller particle is easy to disperse,if the particle size is bigger,it will be more difficult to disperse.

2. The surface properties :the chemical properties and hydrophilic properties of the carbon black surface will affect its dispersity, carbon black with better hydrophilic properties on the surface is easy to disperse.

3. The selection of  dispersing agent.Different dispersant have different effect on the carbon black.choose the correct dispersing agent could help improving the dispersity.

4. The shearing  force during dispersing process.The higher shear force,the higher dispersity of carbon black.

5. The selection of solvents.Different solvents also have different effects on the carbon black,choose the correct solvents could help improving the dispersity.

 Method of improving the dispersion of carbon black.

1. Choose the correct dispersant: Choosing the correct dispersing agent is the key to improve dispersity of carbon black. Commonly used dispersing agents include surfactants, polymers, colloids, and ion exchange resin. Different dispersants have different dispersing effects on carbon black, the users should select the suitable dispersing agent according to specific conditions.

2. Increase the shear force: the higher the shear force, the higher dispersty of carbon black. By selecting high -speed mixer, high -cut mixer and other equipment, the shear force can be increased to improve the dispersity of carbon black.

3. Choose the correct solvent: Different solvents also affect the dispersing effects of carbon black. Choosing suitable solvents can improve the dispersity of carbon black. Generally speaking,if the carbon black hydrophilicity is poor, should choose the solvents with better hydrophilicity .

4. Control the temperature during the dispersing process : temperature also affects the dispersing effect of carbon black. The higher the temperature, the better the dispersing effect. However, too high temperatures can break the black heat of carbon black and affect its performance. Therefore, the temperature should be controlled during the dispersing process, which is generally suitable for 40-50 ° C..

5. Increase the dispersing time: the longer the dispersing time, the higher the dispersity of csrbon black. During the dispersing process, fully stiring could ensure the carbon black is fully dispersed in the solvent.

6. Choose the appropriate carbon black particle size: carbon black with smaller particle size is easy to disperse. The bigger the particle size, the more difficult it is to be dispersed. When choosing carbon black, choose the appropriate particle size according to the specific situation.

 

Summary

Improving carbon black dispersity is a complex process, and multiple factors need to be comprehensively considered . Choose suitable dispersing agents, increase shear force, choose suitable solvents, control the temperature of the dispersing process, increase the dispersing time, and choose the appropriate carbon black particle size and other methods can effectively increase the carbon black dispersity. In practical applications, the appropriate method should be selected according to the specific conditions to achieve the best dispersing effect.

Eco-friendly Reducing Agent for Sulfur Dye Dyeings

The production process of sulfur dyes is simple, lower cost and excellent fastness. However, due to its many shortcomings and problems in actual production and application, it still cannot be widely used in various fabrics.

 One major drawback of sulfur dyeing is water pollution and air pollution.Sulfur dyes are insoluble in water and cannot be directly applied to fibers. During dyeing, some deoxidizers as alkali sulfide and sodium hydrosulfide have to be added.Thus the waste water of dyeing is sulfur - containing,which is hardly treated thoroughly.If such waste water discharged directly, it will release hydrogen sulfide, which is harmful to organisms, corrodes the sewage system, releases odor, and harms people's health (the dye itself is not harmful to the user's health and is considered as  non-toxic dyes)。

In order to solve the wastewater problem,the factories have to spend much extra money on it,thus will increase the production cost.

Toxic hydrogen sulfide gas is easily produced during the dyeing process.When it reaches a certain level in the air,it can cause dizziness, palpitations, nausea, etc., which has a certain danger to the worker.Also there is a certain number of sulfide  residue in the dyed fabrics or yarns ,if the quantity is over standard,the fabrics have strong smell and also harm the human’s health.Meanwhile the fibers are easily  become embrittled after sulfate radicals are generated due to oxidation of the air during the storage of finished products.

 As people's awareness of environmental protection gradually increased,an Eco-friendly reducing agent for sulfur dyeing is needed.
