Carbon Black
Carbon Black is a fine black powder composed of elemental carbon in the form of near-spherical colloidal particles and coalesced particle aggregates. It is produced through the incomplete combustion or thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons such as oil or natural gas. Depending on the manufacturing process (e.g., furnace black, channel black, thermal black, or acetylene black), it exhibits varying particle sizes, surface areas, and structures. Carbon Black is valued for its pigmenting, reinforcing, conductive, and UV-protective properties. It is widely used in rubber production, plastics, inks, coatings, batteries, and electronics. Its high surface area and fine particle size make it indispensable in applications requiring durability, color depth, or conductivity.
