Izakhiwo eziyingqayizivele ze-Carbon black zikwenza kube ukukhetha okudumile ezimbonini eziningi, kuhlanganise nokukhiqizwa kwenjoloba. Embonini yamasondo, i-carbon black isetshenziswa njengesigcwalisi esiqinisa isondo elithuthukisa amandla, ukuqina, kanye nokungagugi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-carbon black ithuthukisa ukumelana kwesondo emisebeni ye-UV, engabangela ukonakala kwamasondo.
I-Carbon black iphinde isetshenziswe embonini ye-inki, lapho isebenza khona njengesithako sombala nesiqinisi se-UV. Ngokusebenza njenge-pigment, i-carbon black yenza uyinki umbala wayo omnyama, kuyilapho izici zayo eziqinisa i-UV zisiza uyinki ukuthi imelane nokufiphala lapho uchayeke elangeni.
