Carbon black

Carbon black

Providing added strength and durability to tyres and other rubber products.

Carbon black is a black powder that is used to increase the strength of products made of rubber, like tyres. Adding carbon black improves a tyre’s abrasion resistance and tensile strength therefore extending tyre life which in turn helps save natural resources.

Thanks to extensive carbon black research and development, the latest grades have increasingly high abrasion resistance and low rolling resistance, which in turn increases fuel efficiency and curbs CO2 emissions from cars.

Carbon black is produced by injecting aromatic oils into a high-temperature reactor, where they form agglomerates of structured carbon particles. Coal chemical aromatic oils are excellent raw materials for this process and give the highest carbon black yields. This means less CO2 emissions for each kg of carbon black produced.

Did you know that carbon black is also used as a pigment for paints and inks like the ones used in your printer?

Applications

Thanks to its many critical applications, the coal chemicals industry makes a direct contribution to Europe’s climate objectives through a systematic energy efficiency approach.
