Bone Black is also known as ivory black. It is created by grinding and sieving bone charcoal, which is produced by the dry distillation of animal bones. Bone Black exclusive is in oil almost deep black as real ivory black (12000).

It is suitable for a wide variety of applications such as plastics, paints and varnishes, wood glazes, artists' paints, coil coatings, cement, mortar, paper, etc., especially if dull matt surfaces are required. The depth of the matt black pigment comes into its own particularly well in oil and synthetic resins. In aqueous techniques, the very fine-particle pigment is more difficult to paste and the color is not as deep black.
