The density of carbon black powders is difficult to determine. It can vary between 1.82 and 1.89 g cm-3.

Electrical Conductivity
This property is usually not measured for the carbon black itself, but in the system containing the carbon black, i. e. in a polymer or binding agent. Conductivity of a filled polymer increases with the specific surface area and the structure of the carbon black being incorporated into the system. It is also a function of carbon black concentration and dispersion and of the type of polymer or binding agent used.
Test methods that resemble certain physicochemical measurements and give information on application properties for carbon black are summarized in Table 4.3.
