"Black 4.0: The Ultimate Shade of Ultrablack"
Artist Stuart Semple has developed Black 4.0, a new ultra black paint that absorbs an astonishing 99.95% of visible light, outperforming Vantablack. The paint creates visual effects by absorbing more light, making objects appear featureless and virtually disappear. Black 4.0 is more durable and stable than previous versions, with a new formulation and improved process. While not suitable for long-term outdoor use, it has applications in astronomy, photography, and creating ultra black backdrops. Black 4.0 can be brush painted and will be available in bulk containers.
