Carbon Black

Carbon Black is a high-purity elemental carbon produced through the controlled partial combustion of hydrocarbons. While primarily recognized as an intense black pigment with exceptional hiding power, its value extends far beyond color. In the global manufacturing sector, Carbon Black is an essential reinforcing agent and functional additive that enhances the physical properties of rubber, plastics, and high-performance coatings.

The performance of Carbon Black is defined by its "structure" and particle size. High-structure grades feature complex, branched chains of particles that provide superior reinforcement and electrical conductivity. These are indispensable in the tire industry—where they significantly increase wear resistance and heat dissipation—as well as in specialty plastics for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.

Conversely, Fine-particle grades are optimized for their "jetness" (the depth of the black color). These grades offer high UV absorption, protecting polymers from sunlight-induced degradation, and provide a premium, high-gloss finish for automotive coatings and printing inks. Whether used to strengthen a heavy-duty conveyor belt or to provide the deep black finish on consumer electronics, Carbon Black is the critical component for durability and aesthetic excellence.
