Birla Carbon, a manufacturer and supplier of high-quality carbon materials, will showcase its latest innovations for the coatings and inks industry at Chinacoat 2026, taking place from 11-13 November 2026, in Guangzhou, China.
At stand 2.1C65. Birla Carbon will highlight a portfolio of solutions designed to help coatings and ink manufacturers meet evolving performance, sustainability, and regulatory requirements.
The company will present a wide range of Raven carbon black solutions that support improved dispersion, pigment stabilization, wetting, and viscosity control across a broad range of applications.
“As coatings and ink manufacturers continue to navigate increasing performance expectations alongside sustainability and compliance requirements, material innovation remains a critical enabler,” said Shashank Awasthi, president, Specialty Materials, Birla Carbon.
“Our solutions are designed to help customers address formulation challenges while improving efficiency and delivering consistent, high-quality results. With enhanced local post-treatment capabilities and strengthened regional supply networks, we are also helping customers benefit from improved product availability, shorter lead times, and responsive technical support. Chinacoat provides an excellent opportunity to engage with industry stakeholders and showcase the value our portfolio can bring across diverse applications.”
Birla Carbon’s expanded post-treatment capabilities in Asia further strengthen its ability to serve customers across the region with greater agility. By bringing post-treatment operations closer to customers, the company can provide enhanced product availability, shorter lead times, improved supply reliability, and faster technical support. The proximity also enables closer collaboration with customers, helping them respond more effectively to evolving formulation requirements and changing market demands.
A key focus of the showcase will be Birla Carbon’s Raven carbon blacks for coatings applications, including universal solutions that deliver high levels of jetness across water-based, solvent-based, and powder coating systems. The company will also feature its powder coatings portfolio, engineered to provide excellent dispersibility, UV stability, and color performance, along with next-generation blue-tone carbon black solutions designed to enhance tinting performance.
For packaging and printing applications, Birla Carbon will showcase high-purity products suitable for food-contact and high-performance packaging inks, enabling manufacturers to achieve stringent quality standards without compromising on performance.
The company will also highlight Continua SCM, its sustainable carbonaceous materials offering, which helps customers reduce emissions while maintaining product consistency and purity. The portfolio supports compliance with key industry and regulatory requirements, including GADSL and Reach standards.
Birla Carbon will also showcase solutions for industrial and automotive cathodic electro-deposition (CED) coatings, including Conductex conductive carbon blacks and Nanocyl carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for electrostatic coatings and conductive primers. These solutions support water-based and solvent-based systems used in automotive and industrial applications and help improve adhesion between electrocoat layers and basecoats on plastic substrates.
