OurCarbon® For Manufacturers

From inks and dyes to structural concrete additives, OurCarbon® can be purchased in a variety of drop-in inputs for direct industry infusion.

OurCarbon Granules

OurCarbon in its raw granulate form is a dense carbon and mineral material. This input can be used in polymers to achieve a unique speckled effect, in structural applications like concrete as an aggregate replacement, or as a lower surface area adsorbent for stormwater filtration and more.

  • Particle Size: D90 4mm, D50<.5mm. (May vary slightly)

    Moisture Content: 4-10%

    Bulk Density: 550-850 kg/m3

  • 35 lb five gallon buckets

    ~1,000 lb dry weight supersacks

  • -1.02 kg CO2e/kg material

    The carbon benefit has not been credited away from the material and can be directly applied to any material application.

  • Structural Concrete

    Polymers

    Filtration/Remediation

OurCarbon Powder Pigment

Milled to to a raw powder, OurCarbon can be directly compounded into polymer pellets, formulated into dispersions and coatings, or mixed into cast materials like resin to achieve a rich black color from a waste based, bio based source.

  • Particle Size: D90<9µ, D50<3µ

    Moisture Content: Ambient

    Bulk Density: 900 kg/m3

  • 250 ml jars

    50 lb Bags

    ~800 lb Supersacks

  • -1.02 kg CO2e/kg before milling

    (different milling techniques can impact carbon footprint, but will maintain carbon negativity)

    The carbon benefit has not been credited away from the material and can be directly applied to any material application.

  • Polymers

    Digital, Flexo, Screen Inks

    Dyes, Paints, Coatings

    Cast resins, cements, plasters

OurCarbon Custom Dispersion or Ink

From digital printing inks to unique fabric dye dispersions, The OurCarbon team can custom formulate a dispersion or finished ink for trialling or scaled industrial use.

  • % Solids: Up to 35%

    Particle Size: <250 nm to 5 micron depending on needs

    Base: Water, solvent, or oil based

    pH: Typically 7 - 9 for water based

    Viscosity: Pourable to paste depending on needs

  • 250 ml jars

    5 kg pails

    Contract manufacturing for scale

  • -1.02 kg CO2e/kg before milling and dispersion

    (different dispersions and inks will have different footprints based on their constituent ingredients)

    The carbon benefit has not been credited away from the material and can be directly applied to any material application.

  • Digital/Flexo/Gravure/Screen Inks

    Dyes, Paints, Coatings

    Foams and other liquid injections

Looking to decarbonize your building project?

Use OurCarbon in structural concrete

OurCarbon is a carbon negative aggregate replacement that can be formulated into structural concrete to reduce GWP by storing carbon in the concrete itself. This new solution for building owners and concrete producers has been tested and proven in the field and is scaling across the US.

  • -1.02 lb CO2e/lb OurCarbon GWP

  • Published and verified carbon negative EPD

  • 100-300 lbs per cubic yard dosed in the field

    • Reducing GWP by 100-300+ lbs/cy

  • Pairs well with novel cements and SCMs

    • Carbon negative mixes achievable
