What is Conductive Carbon Black?
Conductive Carbon Black
Conductive Carbon Black (C) for Conductive Materials and ESD Materials.
Technical owner: Aurexene Materials Engineering Team · Last updated: 2026-06-18
What It Is Not
- Conductive Carbon Black is not ordinary pigment carbon black and is not recycled carbon black; its grade is selected for conductive-network formation.
When Not to Use It
- Do not use Conductive Carbon Black when transparency, light color, electrical insulation, or extremely low-loading conductivity is required.
Intrinsic Screening Summary
- Identity screen
- C; Black conductive carbon black powder aggregates
Application Fit
Selection & Validation Framework
| Decision Question | Material-Level Answer |
|---|---|
| Material profile validation | Required for: Conductive Materials, ESD Materials, Carbon Dispersion, and Energy Storage. Measure: identity; handling state; application acceptance criteria. Sample state: final host formulation or part state. Failure signals: application target is unmet; host compatibility is unresolved. |
Material Identity & Specification Status
Approved values for Particle size, Purity, and Packaging are not published; confirm them during quotation or sample review.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Composition | C |
| CAS / identity | 1333-86-4 |
| Morphology | Black conductive carbon black powder aggregates |
| Density | 1.8-2.0 g/cm3 density at 25 C |
| Storage | Dry sealed container |
Compare Material Routes
| Material / Route | Decision Boundary |
|---|---|
| MWCNT | Carbon black offers a cost-effective conductive additive baseline with resistivity and structure data. MWCNT, SWCNT, or graphene routes may reduce loading or change rheology, but require dispersion and cost validation. |
