ALGAE BLACK™

Made with renewable biomass waste from farms and produced through a carbon-negative process, this algae-based pigment powder and liquid dispersion replaces petroleum-derived carbon black.

200%

Carbon footprint reduction

Crafted from algae waste and designed to make carbon black a thing of the past

Manufacturers can now cut carbon emissions by using black materials. ALGAE BLACK pigment safely colors a variety of industrial products such as plastics, rubbers, foams, makeup, textiles, and inks (like ALGAE INK™) to achieve a black or desired shade, offering partners a sustainable, drop-in replacement for traditional, petroleum-derived, carbon black.

Available to trial:

  • The Standard Grade of our high-quality, carbon-negative pigment derived from repurposed waste algae biomass in a high-purity black powder form.

    • Sustainable Composition: Carbon-negative, dry black powder pigment derived from renewable algae sources. 4-8% ash content and <5% moisture. Non-PVC, Non-phthalate, and Non-PAH.

    • Compatibility: Can be used as a drop-in replacement for carbon black in most applications

    • Performance: Engineered for low ash and moisture content and deep black coloration

    • Ideal Uses: Algae black is best for the manufacturing of environmentally sustainable paints, coatings, plastics, textiles, and rubber products, offering deep black coloration, enhanced UV resistance, and eco-friendly credentials derived from renewable algae biomass sources. A safe carbon-negative pigment alternative to replace petroleum-derived carbon black

  • Derived from repurposed waste algae biomass through our carbon-negative manufacturing process, this Premium Grade of our black powder is finely milled and highly-purified for an intense jet black color.

    • Sustainable Composition: Carbon-negative, highly purified, finely milled black powder pigment derived from renewable algae sources, 4-8% ash and <5% moisture content. Decreased particle size compared to Standard pigment. Non-PVC, Non-phthalate, and Non-PAH.

    • Compatibility: Can be used as a drop-in replacement for carbon black in most applications

    • Performance: Engineered for low ash and mositure content, as well as very fine particle size for enhanced black coloration

    • Ideal Uses: Algae black is best for the manufacturing of environmentally sustainable paints, coatings, plastics, textiles, and rubber products, offering deep black coloration, enhanced UV resistance, and eco-friendly credentials derived from renewable algae biomass sources. A safe, (drop-in?) carbon-negative pigment alternative to replace petroleum-derieved carbon black

  • Resin-free liquid pigment concentrate derived from renewable algae biomass waste. This liquid pigment concentrate is formulated for easy blending and compatibility with a wide range of systems, offering enhanced flexibility and efficiency in coloring processes for dyeing, plastic and coating applications.

    • Sustainable Composition: Crafted from 25-28% loading of our carbon-negative, algae-derived pigment in a resin-free and water-based concentrate. Non-PVC, Non-phthalate, APEO-free.

    • Compatibility: Engineered for seamless integration with a wide array of coloring processes, enhancing flexibility and efficiency. Equipment compatablity includes batch processing, high-shear mixers, various mills, ultrasonic dispersers, or extruders.

    • Performance: Comparable performance to conventional carbon-black dispersions. Allows for easy integration across diverse systems.

    • Ideal Uses: Ideal for use across a variety of industries like formulation of inks and coatings, rubber products, plastic films and components in automotive and consumer goods, metal surfaces and decorative applications, and specialty textile and leather coatings and apparel finishes that require black pigmentation.
