Using traditional carbon black powder as a reference to prepare black automobile coatings,the differences in preparation processes and formulations of black automobile coatings using carbon black flakes were explored.Compared to using traditional carbon black powder to prepare black automobile coatings,using carbon black flakes to prepare black automobile coatings only requires a small amount of dispersant additives,less dispersion time,and fewer grinding times,it is possible to prepare black automobile coatings that are superior to those prepared using traditional carbon black powder in terms of blackness,coloring power,and production energy consumption.
