Carbon black is a form of paracrystalline carbon that has a high surface-area-to-volume ratio.
It is dissimilar to soot in its much higher surface-area-to-volume ratio and significantly lower (negligible and non-bioavailable) PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) content.
Carbon Black is by far the most important black pigment, and is the second most used in terms of volume of all pigments employed by the plastic industry, ranking behind only TiO2.

After the gate freezes, any additional material volume or pressure will only pack the sprue and runner system, which can cause difficulties with sprue removal during part ejection.
Using screw position allows the processor to consistently inject a specific volume of material to the cavity.

Added in at volumes ranging from less than 1 percent to more than 70 percent by weight, minerals are typically mined from the earth and then refined to produce uniform particle size distribution.
The loading of filler needed to reach this threshold varies by the type and grade of conductive filler and the amount present per volume of polymer.
Experts recommend using inserts for large-volume production, and because a long dwell time in the barrel may cause degradation, use a minimum of 20 percent to 50 percent of barrel capacity per shot.1 Purging is also important.
