Detailed Description
Usage:
Carbon black mainly (70%) used as a pigment and reinforcing phase in automobile tires. Carbon black
also helps conduct heat away from the tread and belt area of the tire, reducing thermal damage and
increasing tire life. Carbon black particles are also employed in some radar absorbent materials
and in photocopier and laser printer toner.
Total production was around 8,100,000 metric tons (8,900,000 short tons) in 2006. About 20% of world
production goes into belts, hoses, and other non-tire rubber goods. The balance is mainly used as
a pigment in inks, coatings and plastics. For example, it is added to polypropylene because it absorbs
ultraviolet radiation, which otherwise causes the material to degrade.
