Musou Black – The Blackest Black Paint in the World

Do you know what is the blackest black paint in the world? The blackest paint is not “Black 3.0” anymore, the champaign is now “Musou Black” from Japan! It make you vanish in the dark! It make coated items that appears to become invisible!

Photographers often use technologies such as light-absorbing cloth. Koyo Orient Japan, a famous optical equipment manufacturer is preparing to launch “Musou Black” water-based acrylic paint, this world’s blackest paint can be used to render all black background or hidden shooting equipment, it is very practical.

Absorption Rate is 99.2%

“Musou Black” is a light absorbent powder layer that can be sprayed or brushed on objects to form a seamless non-reflective surface. Its spray coating absorbance is as high as 99.2%, This rate is even higher then “Black 3.0” – another famous black paint’s 99.0%; Its pen coating absorbance is slightly lower, 98.8 %, but it is very powerful as well.

Prevent Reflection

Besides using it as dark black background for shooting, “Musou Black” can also be painted on photographic equipment or inside the hood to prevent reflection of light sources. However the coating strength is very low. Soft contact will causes the powder to fall and the objects applied can decrease or crack. Make sure you have protective equipment for inhaling dust, such as goggles and masks.

Three Dimensional Shape Friendly

Koyo had launched the “Fine Shut Light Absorbing Film” that is very widely known with photography enthusiasts. However,  The light absorbing sheet can not be attached to the three-dimensional surface. This time the Musou Black can be applied to the surface of a three-dimensional shape that is more convenient to use.

“Musou Black” is expected to release in May 2020. The price of 100 ml is 2,500 yen (about USD 23). You can pay attention to the official website message if you need it.
