Copper Chrome Black Spinel – Pigment Black 28 (PBk28) is an inorganic black pigment from Kela Materials based on copper chrome spinel (CuCr₂O₄). It provides a deep black shade with excellent heat, UV and chemical resistance for durable plastics, coatings, ceramics and construction materials. PBk28 contains only trivalent chromium (Cr³⁺) fixed in a stable spinel lattice and no hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)).
PBK526 Eco Composite Functional Black is a composite inorganic black pigment developed by Kela Materials. It is primarily based on mixed oxides of copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and iron (Fe), designed to deliver a purer, more stable black tone than many organic blacks or conventional carbon-based blacks in demanding processing environments.
This material is positioned for engineering use cases where thermal stability, process robustness, and color retention matter. PBK526 is not presented as a finished formulation; performance depends on binder/resin selection, dispersion method, film thickness, and processing temperature profile.
Typical value proposition: stable black appearance under heat and aging, with system-level predictability when carbon black introduces conductivity drift, blooming, or tone instability.
