Application

The individual types of carbon black can be defined by size and specific surface of particles and further by a structure of their aggregates. The furnace carbon black create comprehensive group of products, which offer wide palette of the function characteristics and improve important physical-mechanical characteristics of products in which they are added (stiffening characteristics, protection against UV radiation, pigmentation and conductance).

Roughly 90% of all carbon black is used in rubber industry where above all their stiffening characteristics are used.

The most important market from the consumption point of view is tyre sector. Every part of the tyre (tread, side plate, breaker, frame, inner rubber, base) uses various types of rubber mixture with the various types of carbon black.
The second most important market of carbon black is the area of production of the mechanical rubber goods. Here carbon black also improve the whole range of the characteristics of final products such as: profiles, hoses, straps, rubber cables, rubber-metal parts, sealing compound and others.

The carbon black are also important component in other than rubber aplications. Here their ability of pigmentation, retardation of UV radiation and the increasing of conductance are used (in the plastic industry, in the printing aplications, in the colouring matters industry and so on).
