CARBON BLACK

“Rubber Black” is a major reinforcing filler used in rubber compounds, mostly in automotive tires. Carbon black helps conduct heat away from the tread and belt area of the tire, reducing thermal damage and increasing tire life. Phillips Carbon Black offers 23 grades of Rubber Black providing a range of properties needed for your application.

“Specialty Blacks” are carbon blacks used for non-rubber applications. Specialty Blacks are primarily used as a pigment in plastics, inks, coatings and many other applications. This is also used for high technology applications like rechargeable batteries, premium automotive coatings, conductive & ESD. Produced with special types of raw materials, reactor, operating conditions and technology, Specialty Blacks are known for the difficult-to-achieve properties like UV resistance, better dispersion in polymer matrix, conductivity, high color strength and aesthetics.
