Carbon Black Applications
Tires
Carbon black is used to improve the processing, strength and durability important to tire manufacturing and tire performance (most notably safety), increasing tire life and fuel economy.
Plastics
Carbon black provides color, UV protection and conductivity - power cable shielding or electrostatic dissipation - to plastics
Food Contact Grades
Specific carbon black grades comply with stringent purity requirements for many regulated industrial or consumer plastic applications.
Batteries
Carbon black improves electrochemical conductivity and charging characteristics in lead-acid, modern stop-start, and hybrid batteries - improving overall battery efficiency.
High Performance Coatings
Carbon black provides jetness for coatings, degradation protection from UV radiation and conductivity for coatings.
Rubber Goods
Hoses, belts, gaskets - carbon black is used to enhanced mechanical properties, anti-vibration and conductivity of rubber goods.
