| Product Description: Carbon Blacks are the most utilized fillers in the Rubber Industry. Based on its cost and performance, no other filler can match the properties of carbon black. Used for nearly 100 years, carbon blacks have been reinforcing rubber compounds both physically and chemically. Cabot Corporation has been producing carbon blacks for nearly 120 years and is now the world leader in the manufacturing of this essential ingredient. With production facilities in 18 countries on 5 continents, Cabot produces and develops carbon blacks for all rubber applications. Vulcan, Regal and Sterling blacks are standard furnace grades most used in the industry. They vary in surface area (Iodine) and structure (DBP) so compounders can select the appropriate black, or combination of blacks, for their applications. The Vulcan blacks are considered reinforcing or hard blacks. These Sterling blacks are considered semi-reinforcing blacks.Information provided by Akrochem Corporation |
