From toothpaste to cosmetics, white carbon black is reconstructing the experience of daily chemical products with "micro nano technology":
Toothpaste friction agent: precipitated white carbon black has become the preferred choice for transparent toothpaste due to its high specific surface area (200 m ²/g) and stable chemical properties. Its refractive index (1.45-1.50) matches the formula and can hide the turbidity of other ingredients, with a market share of over 60%.
Cosmetic thickener: Vapor phase white carbon black forms a "ball bearing effect" in lipstick and nail polish to evenly distribute light and cover skin defects. Meanwhile, its thixotropy can prevent pigment settling and extend product shelf life.
Food preservative: Packaging bags with added white carbon black can adsorb ethylene gas, delay fruit ripening, and extend the shelf life of strawberries from 3 days to 7 days.
According to market research institutions' predictions, the global demand for white carbon black for daily chemical use will reach 500000 tons by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 8%. Functional products such as antibacterial and sunscreen will become new growth points.
