Bone Black Pigments (C.I. Pigment Black 9)

Trade Name: Cosmic Black

Ebonex Corporation is the largest producer of bone black pigments in the USA.

Bone Black (C.I. Pigment Black 9) is sometimes also called Ivory Black. Bone black is a natural black pigment created by destructive distillation of animal bones in the absence of oxygen. This process of manufacture leaves bone char which is the raw material for bone black pigment. The subsequent pigment is created by crushing the bone char and screening it into various sizes.

These products with Ebonex trade name Cosmic Black are not a direct replacement for Carbon Black. Rather Bone Black is a specialty black pigment used to color plastics, wood stains, paints, cement and mortar colors, coil coatings, artist colors, and coated papers when a dull matte finish is required.

Bone Blacks are non-hazardous, and are Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for indirect food contact applications.

We began our successful collaboration with Ebonex in 2003 and now sell almost 50 tpa in Germany and neighboring countries.
