Pigment – TilackD®

Tilack D® is an advanced true black pigment developed using next-generation inorganic powder production combined with ceramic technology. Unlike traditional black pigments such as carbon black or iron oxides—often associated with agglomeration, poor dispersibility, and stability challenges—Tilack D® delivers exceptional performance with a rich, bluish jet-black tone and smooth formulation behavior.

Made from titanium and titanium dioxide, Tilack D® offers outstanding safety, high heat and color stability, low oil absorption, and excellent dispersion even in hydrophilic systems. Its uniform particle characteristics ensure a clean, intense black finish across a variety of color cosmetic applications. The pigment is available in both nano and non-nano versions to meet global regulatory and formulation needs.

NAGASE supplies Tilack D® throughout EMEA with strong technical support and China-compliant documentation.
