Hiilimustat

Hiilimustat is a Finnish term that translates to "charcoal black" or "carbon black." It most commonly refers to the pigment produced by the incomplete combustion of organic materials, such as wood or oil. This fine black powder has been used for centuries as a pigment in paints, inks, and dyes. Its deep, opaque blackness and durability have made it a popular choice for artistic and industrial applications. Historically, it was a key component in traditional inks, including those used for calligraphy and printing. In modern industry, carbon black is a vital additive in rubber products, particularly tires, where it enhances strength, durability, and UV resistance. It is also used in plastics, coatings, and as a coloring agent in various consumer goods. The production method involves carefully controlled burning processes to achieve the desired particle size and purity.
