FIG. 01 · N299 · Iodine adsorption number 108 ± 5 g/kg

N299 carbon black is one of the two products introduced in the catalog as a "new grade". With an iodine adsorption of 108 g/kg and an oil absorption of 124 ml/100 g, it sits between N220 and N339 and combines some of the advantages of both.

Why it is versatile

Its high tint strength (113 ± 5) and good dispersion behavior make N299 suitable not only for rubber but also for pigment applications. In the ink and paint industry, where color strength and ease of dispersion are needed together, this grade stands out.

Applications

Truck and radial tires, industrial rubber hoses, sealing products, rubber rollers, conveyor belts and belting, wire and cable, shoe soles; as well as the ink, coating, paint and printing industries.

How does it work?

Frequently Asked Questions About This Product

Why is N299 used in both rubber and ink?

Because of its high tint strength (113 ± 5) and good dispersion behavior. In rubber it provides strong reinforcement; in ink and paint it combines color strength with ease of dispersion.

Where does N299 sit between N220 and N339?

With an iodine adsorption of 108 g/kg and an oil absorption of 124 ml/100 g, it sits right in the middle: it approaches the abrasion resistance of N220 while keeping the processing advantage of N339.

What packaging is N299 available in?

N299 is supplied in 1,000 kg double-valve PP-PE jumbo bags. A 20' container takes 10 pallets (10,000 kg), a 40' container 20 pallets (20,000 kg) and a truck 22 pallets (22,000 kg). If you need kraft paper bags, send us your request and we will check availability.

Does N299 come with a certificate of analysis and a safety data sheet?

Yes. Every shipment is sent with a certificate of analysis (CoA) for that batch, issued by an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. We send the safety data sheet (SDS) on request; if you would like to see a sample report before ordering, you can ask for one through the quote form.
