EMPEROR® 1800

EMPEROR® 1800 distributed by DKSH is a high color, specialty carbon black that can enable deep black masstone in automotive and other high-end coatings. The pigment surface is optimized for water-based systems and delivers exceptional performance compared to conventional oxidized carbon black.

• It delivers high jetness and deep blue undertone, made possible by the surface treatment which enables dispersion of the pigment down to individual aggregates.
• It helps to increase color performance, shorten dispersion time, and improve shelf stability in water-based systems.
• It provides superior performance through optimization of the pigment morphology and the surface chemistry.
• It reduces dispersion time by more than 85% compared to competitive products.
• It enables electrostatic stabilization of the pigment in water, inhibiting the re-agglomeration of the pigment particles upon aging.
• It also causes shortened grinding time, minimized dispersion costs, and a reduction in color fluctuations due to variation in the dispersion quality.
• It has a shelf life of 1 year.
• EMPEROR® 1800 is available in Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Myanmar
