JETEX 105 | Easy-to-Disperse Specialty Carbon Black Pigment
JETEX 105 is a high-performance, easy-to-disperse specialty carbon black pigment engineered for applications demanding medium-to-high opacity and reliable, long-term weatherability. Featuring optimized morphology for rapid incorporation into polymer matrices, it delivers superior protection against UV damage and outstanding covering power to prevent sunlight transmission. With its exceptional cleanliness and ease of processing, JETEX 105 is the ideal choice for thick-gauge films, general-purpose sheets, agricultural films, and high-durability irrigation pipe systems.
Product Overview
JETEX 105 is an industrial-grade, easy-to-disperse specialty carbon black pigment engineered specifically to meet the strict opacity and weathering demands of the plastics and polymer processing industries. Designed with a precisely controlled particle morphology, this high-efficiency black masterbatch component ensures rapid, uniform wetting and dispersion inside polymer matrices, drastically reducing processing bottlenecks and energy consumption.
The primary structural benefit of JETEX 105 is its balanced combination of tinting strength and high covering power, creating an effective barrier that completely blocks sunlight transmission. This makes it an essential asset for extending the operational lifetime of thick-gauge outdoor plastics, industrial sheets, and agricultural films subjected to continuous solar radiation.
Advanced UV Damage Protection: Formulated to absorb harmful ultraviolet radiation, protecting the host polymer from early photo-degradation, structural embrittlement, and cracking.
Superior Covering Power: Delivers exceptional opacity at optimized loading levels, effectively preventing sunlight transmission through films and piping walls.
Optimized Process Dispersion: The engineered particle morphology allows for rapid and uniform dispersion during dry blending and extrusion compounding, minimizing micro-agglomerates.
High Industrial Cleanliness: Maintained under strict quality control tolerances to ensure extremely low sieve residue (325 mesh $\le 25\text{ ppm}$), protecting thin film lines from structural weaknesses or pinholes.
Versatile Compounding Behavior: Combines an iodine adsorption number of $83\text{ g/kg}$ with a structural oil absorption number (OAN) of $102\text{ cc/100 g}$ to deliver a stable balance of viscosity control and high tinting strength ($104\%$).
Agricultural Films: Engineered specifically for heavy-duty mulch films and silage wrap applications requiring strict light-blocking capabilities and seasonal weatherability.
Irrigation Infrastructure: Highly recommended for manufacturing durable irrigation pipes, agricultural tapes, and drip laterals exposed to direct sunlight.
Industrial Plastics: Perfect for general-purpose thick films, protective sheets, and standard thermoplastic compounding.
