Black Masterbatch Technical Data — TDS and SDS

Carbon loading, carrier system, ash, melt flow and moisture for all twelve standard grades, in one table. Each grade has its own data sheet; the SDS and the batch certificate of analysis are issued with the shipment.

What you receive, and when

Grade data sheet (TDS)One page per grade, with the values above plus recommended let-down, processing window and packaging. Sent with the quotation, or on its own if you are still screening.
Safety data sheet (SDS)Issued with the quotation, in the language and format your country requires. Carbon black masterbatch is not classified as a dangerous good for transport, but the SDS is still a required document for your file and for your own customers.
Certificate of analysis (CoA)Per lot, per shipment. States what that batch actually measured — including the filter-pressure result with mesh size and test polymer — not a reprint of the typical values above.
CertificatesISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001, supplied with certificate number and issuing body so you can check them yourself. 22 SGS test reports are downloadable as original PDFs.
Origin and complianceCommercial invoice, packing list, CoA, certificate of origin and a signed origin and forced-labour statement travel together as one document set.

On the numbers above: they are typical in-house QC reference figures, not contractual limits. The contractual specification is what we confirm against your order, and it is the CoA — not this page — that states what your lot measured.

Dispersion and pipe-grade testing

For pipe, cable and pressure applications, dispersion is the specification that matters ahead of jetness. An agglomerate in a pressure pipe wall is a stress concentrator, and that is where a slow crack starts.

The carbon black we run

“10% carbon black” tells a buyer almost nothing on its own. Which carbon black decides UV life, jetness, how much shear the compound needs, and where the filter pressure lands. We run two oil-furnace blacks classified under ASTM D1765 — N220 and N330 — and the type used in a given grade is named on that grade’s data sheet and on the lot certificate.

Carbon black types in standard production
TypeClassTypical particle sizeWhat it buys youWhat it costs you
N220ISAF — intermediate super abrasion furnaceabout 20–25 nmMore jetness per point of loading and a denser UV screen at the same dose. The finer particle size sits inside the particle-size window that pressure-pipe standards write for pipe-grade carbon black.Harder to disperse. It wants more shear, and a slack compounding regime shows up immediately as higher filter pressure.
N330HAF — high abrasion furnaceabout 28–36 nmDisperses more easily, runs to a lower filter pressure, and costs less per kilo. The normal choice where jetness is not the specification and the part is not a pressure wall.Less jetness at equal loading — you dose slightly more to reach the same black.

Structure is measured by DBP absorption (ASTM D2414) and reported with the batch. We name the carbon black per grade rather than per company, because the choice follows what the part has to survive: an exposed PE100 pressure wall and a black injection-moulded appliance housing do not want the same carbon black. If your specification fixes the carbon black type — pipe and geomembrane specifications often do — tell us and we quote to it.

Where each grade sits: carbon black type per grade is stated on the grade’s own data sheet and on the lot CoA, not left for you to infer. Ask for the TDS of the grades you are screening and you will see it there.

Questions buyers ask

Are these values contractual specifications?

No. They are typical in-house QC reference figures. The contractual specification is what we confirm against your order, and the batch certificate of analysis states what that lot actually measured.

Can I have the safety data sheet?

Yes. We issue the SDS with the quotation, in the language and format your country requires. Carbon black masterbatch is not classified as dangerous goods for transport, but an SDS is still a required document for your file and for your own downstream customers.

Which test method do you use for dispersion?

Filter-pressure test for release, with the mesh size and test polymer stated on the certificate of analysis. Where you need a microscopic dispersion rating, we report to ISO 18553 at the let-down you intend to run.

Which carbon black do you use?

We run two oil-furnace blacks classified under ASTM D1765: N220 (ISAF, about 20-25 nm) and N330 (HAF, about 28-36 nm). N220 gives more jetness per point of loading and a denser UV screen; N330 disperses more easily and runs to a lower filter pressure. Which one a given grade uses is stated on that grade’s data sheet and on the lot certificate of analysis. If your specification fixes the carbon black type, tell us and we quote to it.
