Small particles
(<15 - 25 nm)
Higher viscosity, stronger film, deep masstone
Used for luxury packaging, UV-curable inks, inkjet
Modern printing demands optical density, jetness, dispersion stability, conductivity, rheology control, and precision compatibility with multiple resin systems.
ISTAR’s portfolio is engineered using advanced furnace black and gas-black technologies, tailored across particle size, structure, and surface chemistry to deliver the highest performance in:
Higher viscosity, stronger film, deep masstone
Used for luxury packaging, UV-curable inks, inkjet
Balanced jetness + viscosity control
Ideal for flexo/gravure
Lowest viscosity, easiest dispersion
Perfect for publication inks, high-speed gravure
