Description

Vine carbon powder is a highly porous, fine charcoal obtained from the pyrolysis of vine stems or grape wood. It is characterized by low density, large surface area, and excellent adsorption and dispersion properties. It is widely used in art materials, chemical purification, pigments, and laboratory filtration, where extremely fine, lightweight carbon is needed.

Physical and Chemical Properties

• Bulk Density: Very low (~0.15–0.25 g/cm³; can vary by batch)

• Particle Size: Submicron to ~10 μm (very fine powder)

• Moisture Content: <5%

• Ash Content: Typically low (1–3%)

• pH in Aqueous Slurry: Neutral to slightly alkaline

• Solubility: Insoluble in water and organic solvents

• Surface Area: High – exact BET surface area may vary by batch

Applications

• Pigment Base: Used in drawing inks, paints, and traditional art media

• Chemical Purification: Acts as a mild adsorbent for certain gases or impurities

• Laboratory Use: Employed in dry filtration and analytical testing

• Ceramics and Pyrotechnics: Used as a carbon additive and combustion agent

• Metallurgy: Can be used in powder metallurgy or as a reducing agent

• Special Effects: Sometimes used as a component in smoke or soot simulations

Safety Information

Signal Word: ⚠️ Warning

Hazard Statements:

• H319: Causes serious eye irritation

• H335: May cause respiratory irritation

• H400: Very toxic to aquatic life (only if dispersed airborne dust enters waterways)

Precautionary Statements:

• P261: Avoid breathing dust

• P280: Wear protective gloves/eye protection

• P273: Avoid release to the environment

• P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes

• P501: Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local regulations

Handling and Storage

• Handling: Use in well-ventilated areas. Avoid dust generation. Use dust masks and safety glasses

• Storage: Keep in tightly sealed containers, in a dry and cool place. Avoid open flames or ignition sources due to combustibility

Environmental Considerations

Though natural and plant-derived, carbon dust can pose environmental hazards when released into air or water in large amounts. Prevent dispersion into the atmosphere or drains.
