Plastics
Carbon black provides colour, UV protection and conductivity – power cable shielding or electrostatic dissipation
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
High Performance Coatings
Carbon black provides jetness for coatings, degradation protection from UV radiation and conductivity for coatings
Pipe
Carbon black serves to protect pipes from mechanical degradation caused by harmful UV radiation
Rubber
Carbon black is used to enhanced mechanical properties, anti-vibration and conductivity of rubber goods
Wire and Cable
Carbon black extends cable life and efficiency by creating exceptionally smooth and conductive insulation, conductor shield and UV resistance
Printing Inks
Carbon black provides pigmentation that enhances colour and undertone in various ink applications
