Looking for Carbon Black (Rubber or Pigment Grade)? ChemicalDekho connects you with global leaders like Birla Carbon and Phillips Carbon Black (PCBL). Access high-performance reinforcing agents and pigments for tires and plastics.
Carbon Black (CAS 1333-86-4) is essential for the rubber industry, where it improves the tensile strength and abrasion resistance of tires. In plastics, it acts as a premier UV stabilizer and conductive agent. As a pigment, it offers unmatched jetness and tinting strength for inks and coatings.
Listings cover the full range of ASTM 'N' series grades (N220, N330, N550, N660) and specialized high-color pigment grades.

May form combustible dust concentrations in air. Suspected of causing cancer (Inhalation of dust - IARC 2B). Dirty material; very hard to clean spills.
ASTM N-series codes indicate surface area and structure. Lower numbers (N220) have smaller particles and higher reinforcement for treads. Higher numbers (N660) are for tire carcasses where flexibility is key.
Without Carbon Black, a rubber tire would wear out in less than 100 km. It conducts heat away from the tread and cross-links with the rubber to make it incredibly tough.
It is chemically similar to soot but produced under strictly controlled conditions to have specific particle sizes and surface chemistry, whereas soot is a random waste byproduct.
Yes, specific grades of conductive Carbon Black are added to plastics to prevent static buildup or to make conductive parts.
