Cosmic Black is a special black pigment obtained from animal bones. The product is harmless, non-toxic and eco-friendly, and produced without additives.

Cosmic Black is used in all kinds of applications including plastics, paints and lacquers, wood varnishes, artists’ paints, fire coatings, cement, mortar, and paper. The pigment is especially suited to applications in which dull, matte surfaces are desired.

Cosmic Black is easily dispersible in water and oil media and thanks to its insulating properties also ideal for electrically sensitive applications.

Bone black is a renewable alternative to carbon black, although not a 1:1 substitute. A quick comparison of the most important product specifications is given below:
