Tread
The tread carbon black is known for its exceptional reinforcing properties, offering excellent abrasion resistance that directly affects tread wear. Approximately 22 % of the composition of a tyre consists of carbon black. There are various grades of carbon black available for tyre applications, and selecting the appropriate grade is crucial for achieving optimal performance in specific applications.
In addition to reinforcement, carbon black plays a vital role in stabilising tyre rubber against heat, light, and oxidation, effectively preventing the rubber from cracking. It also eliminates static charges and helps in cooling the tyres by dissipating heat from concentrated surfaces, particularly in the tread areas. This reduces thermal damage and extends the lifespan of the tyres.
We offer a wide range of carbon black products that cater to the specific properties required for tyres and rubber goods. For instance, the 100 series provides excellent treadwear and tear resistance while the 200 series offers high tensile strength and abrasion resistance. The 300 series combines good abrasion resistance with high resilience.
We assist our customers in selecting the appropriate grades of carbon black for various applications, ensuring a balance of properties in their products.
Carcass
Our soft grade carbon black, also known as ‘Carcass Black’ finds a wide range of applications in the manufacturing of mechanical rubber goods and compounds. These products are utilised in various automobile parts such as sealing systems, V belts, hoses, anti-vibration components, as well as general rubber goods such as conveyor belts, hoses, gaskets, mats, and seals.
Our Carbon Black is tailored to meet the specific needs of customers, ensuring desired mechanical and electrical properties, dimensional stability, long fatigue life, improved mechanical properties, low heat generation, low hysteresis, improved dispersion, and excellent processing characteristics with a smooth surface. In this segment, we jointly collaborate closely with customers to understand their requirements and deliver optimal solutions.
