What is Carbon Black?
Carbon black [C.A.S. NO.
1333-86-4] is virtually pure elemental carbon in the form of colloidal
particles that are produced by incomplete combustion or thermal decomposition
of gaseous or liquid hydrocarbons under controlled conditions. Its physical
appearance is that of a black, finely divided pellet or powder. Its use in
tires, rubber and plastic products, printing inks and coatings is related to
properties of specific surface area, particle size and structure, conductivity
and color. Carbon black is also in the top 50 industrial chemicals manufactured
worldwide, based on annual tonnage.
Description:
Soft carbon blacks are generally
used to reinforce rubber where a great deal of flexing is expected to be
encountered, such as in tire carcasses.
Features:
Gives high elasticity to rubber,
middle hardness , high ability for filing, high profiling properties
Applications:
Widely used for producing: tires,
tubes, sleeves, profiling articles, technical seals, molded articles, roof
coverings, framed and breaker rubbers, cables, footwear
