Carbon Black Pigment
High-Performance Pigment Black 7
We manufacture Pigment Black 7 in-house for rubber, plastics, coatings and inks. Compare grades and request technical data for your formulation.
What Is Carbon Black Pigment?
Carbon black pigment is a fine, intensely black powder produced through the controlled combustion or thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons. Classified under the Colour Index as Pigment Black 7 (PBk 7), it is widely used in industrial manufacturing because of its tinting strength, chemical stability and versatility.
Beyond its role as a coloring agent, carbon black provides functional value. In plastics, it acts as a UV stabilizer that helps protect polymers from ultraviolet degradation. In rubber and tire manufacturing, it functions as a reinforcing filler that improves abrasion resistance and tensile strength. In printing inks and coatings, carbon black pigment powder provides intense opacity and jetness.
The Manali Manufacturing Advantage
Unlike pigment traders or generalist suppliers that source carbon black from multiple third parties, Manali Pigments produces 100% of its carbon black pigment in-house. For procurement managers and export traders, this vertical integration supports supply continuity and consistent quality.
Our Complete Control, Complete Quality approach controls particle size and structure throughout production, supporting batch-to-batch consistency for large-scale industrial production. An ISO 9001:2015 quality-management system governs the process, while Government of India STAR EXPORT HOUSE recognition supports global delivery capability.
Review our quality-management and testing framework when evaluating batch documentation and supplier qualification.
Key Technical Specifications & Benefits
Our carbon black pigments are engineered for plastics technologists, ink production specialists and rubber compounders. Pigment Black 7 integrates into production systems where colour depth, UV stability, heat resistance, reinforcement and dispersion are important.
- ✓Intense colour depth: Superior tinting strength and jetness for efficient pigment loading.
- ✓UV protection: UV stabilization and weatherability for exterior plastics and coatings.
- ✓Thermal resistance: Heat stability for polymer processing and masterbatch extrusion.
- ✓Reinforcement: Improved abrasion resistance and tensile strength in rubber and tires.
- ✓Optimized dispersion: Consistent dispersion for printing inks, masterbatch and coatings.
Carbon black grade selection depends on surface area, aggregate structure, dispersion, loading and the formulation system. Rubber-reinforcing N grades are not automatically interchangeable with specialty high-jetness grades for inks or plastics. Confirm the required performance through the grade-specific technical data sheet and application trials.
Featured Carbon Black Grades
Illustrative trend only, not Manali's measured particle-size or reinforcement specification. Reinforcement also depends on structure, loading and dispersion.
N220
Fine-particle reinforcing carbon black for demanding rubber compounds. Evaluate abrasion resistance, tensile performance and dispersion in your formulation.
N330
Widely used reinforcing grade evaluated for tire treads, solid industrial tires, conveyor belts and industrial coatings. Confirm abrasion resistance, resilience and dispersion through the grade-specific TDS and formulation trials.
N550
High-structure carbon black commonly evaluated for extruded rubber profiles and inner tubes. Confirm extrusion behavior, dispersion and suitability for other systems against the grade-specific TDS and formulation trials.
N660
Semi-reinforcing grade commonly evaluated for general-purpose rubber compounding, footwear and hoses. Confirm reinforcement level and heat buildup through the grade-specific TDS and formulation trials.

Industry Applications
For rubber and tire compounds, carbon black grades are evaluated for reinforcement, abrasion resistance and processing behavior.
In plastics and masterbatch, suitable grades support black colour and UV protection. Validate dispersion, loading and polymer compatibility before production.
For printing ink formulations, grade selection should consider jetness, rheology and dispersion in the actual vehicle.
In industrial paints and coatings, carbon black is selected for colour depth and formulation performance.
For construction applications, assess dosage, dispersion and compatibility with the cementitious system.
Global Demand & Carbon Black Market Trends
Demand for carbon black pigment is supported by the need for UV-stable plastics in automotive components, durable industrial coatings and reliable rubber manufacturing. As buyers prioritize long-term colour stability and consistent processing, supply continuity and technical grade selection remain important procurement considerations. Manali Pigments exports Pigment Black 7 to more than 15 countries, including the USA, Brazil, Turkey, South Korea and the UAE.

Frequently Asked Questions
Carbon black pigment is a fine black powder used for industrial colouring and, in suitable formulations, UV protection and rubber reinforcement. Its Colour Index designation is Pigment Black 7 (PBk 7).
Suitable carbon black grades provide black colour and help protect plastics against ultraviolet degradation. Select the grade for the polymer, loading, dispersion and processing conditions; confirm the finished compound through application testing.
Carbon black is used as a reinforcing filler to influence abrasion resistance, tensile properties and compound processing. The result depends on the grade, elastomer, loading, dispersion and formulation; an N-grade designation alone does not guarantee tire performance.
Manali Pigments manufactures carbon black in-house under its ISO 9001:2015 quality-management system. Request the grade-specific technical data sheet and batch documentation, and agree the acceptance criteria required for your production process.
Manali Pigments combines in-house manufacturing with technical grade selection and export supply experience. Buyers can request technical data, product samples and bulk-pricing information to evaluate Pigment Black 7 for their own industrial formulation.
The listed grades are N220, N234, N326, N330, N339, N375, N550, N660 and N774. Review the product table, then request the relevant technical data sheet and confirm suitability and supply availability for your application.
Compare surface area, aggregate structure, dispersion and the performance required in your formulation. N220 is a fine-particle reinforcing option, N330 is a widely used reinforcing grade, N550 is commonly evaluated for extrusion, and N660 is a semi-reinforcing option. Confirm these general roles against the grade-specific technical data and your trials rather than substituting grades on the N-number alone.
Provide your company, country, email, grade or application, and the document or sample quantity required. For bulk or export pricing, add estimated annual volume, shipment quantity and destination when known. Ask which technical data, safety data and batch documents are available for the requested grade; confirm lead time and commercial terms with the sales team.
