Is hitting your viscosity specification a challenge with Carbon black? Perhaps your initial coating viscosity is acceptable, but overtime it increases to an unmanageable level. Although a carbon black’s rheological performance typically takes a back seat to color performance, it remains a critical parameter for the coatings’ industry. To overcome viscosity related challenges, formulators have to get back to the fundamentals to optimize the flow.

Watch this recorded webinar explore tips and tricks to go with the flow and overcome viscosity challenges.
