Adhesives & Sealants

Carbon Black for Colour, UV Protection, Reinforcement & Rheology Control

Carbon black in adhesives and sealants is not just colour. It is also a UV shield, reinforcing filler and rheology modifier that defines how a bead extrudes, levels, holds shape and ages over time.

Structural & Engineering Adhesives

Where these coatings are used

Automotive body bonding

Industrial assembly

Rail, aerospace and wind blade bonding

Common chemistries

Epoxy, polyurethane, methyl methacrylate and hybrid systems.

Industry Problems

Carbon black expectation

Medium particle size sufficient colour at moderate loading
Medium structure reinforcement + controlled thixotropy

Surface chemistry compatible with epoxy/PU – no interference with curing or adhesion promoters.

ISTAR solution positioning

EMPIREX®

engineered as reinforcing colour blacks for structural adhesives.

PLASTEXA®

for tinted structural systems where colour uniformity matters more than maximum jetness.
