Carbon Black

Look around you and count how many items you see that are black. Virtually every one of those items uses carbon black. Be it wet traction for tires, tint for plastics and inks, durability for hoses, reinforcement for conveyor belts, carbon black is used in the manufacture of countless items we use every day.

Our Rubber Carbon Blacks are used as reinforcing agents in common consumer products you know and use every day such as tires, hoses, footwear, and high quality protective packaging.

Elastomer systems respond to the addition of a few fillers, termed reinforcing agents, in a way that enhances certain properties. Among such substances used in rubber compounding, carbon black is unique in its ability to significantly enhance the properties of nearly any base elastomer system.
