|---|---|---|
Carbon black is an extremely versatile substance which is making an increasingly valuable contribution to the automotive industry. Imerys is the leading supplier of highly conductive carbon-based solutions for conductive carbon black used in lithium-ion batteries powering electric vehicles and consumer electronics. It is also a valuable ingredient in polymer compounds used in electronic devices and the automotive industry |
Description | ||
|---|---|---|
Carbon black refers to any group of intensely black, finely divided forms of amorphous carbon, usually obtained as a sooty powder from the partial combustion of hydrocarbons. It is generally produced by the incomplete combustion of heavy petroleum products such as FCC tar, coal tar, ethylene cracking tar, and a small amount of vegetable oil. Carbon black particles are generally spherical in shape and less crystalline than graphite. They have a high surface-area-to-volume ratio. Carbon blacks vary enormously in particle size depending on the process by which they are made. Carbon black is valued for its excellent electrical conductivity, as a reinforcement agent, as a pigment, for its properties and resistance to wear. Imerys produces high-quality, high purity conductive carbon blacks used in batteries, polymers, fuel cells, and powder metallurgy applications. - Physical properties - Electrical conductivity - Reinforcement - Resistance to wear - Chemically inert - Insoluble in water |
