Carbon Black

Traditionally, Cabots carbon black has been used as a reinforcing agent in tires. Today, the uses of carbon black have expanded to include acting as a pigmenting, UV stabilizing and conductive agent in a variety of common and specialty products, including:

Plastics: Cabot carbon blacks are now widely used for plastic masterbatch applications, such as conductive packaging, films, fibers, moldings, pipes and semi-conductive cable compounds.

Toners and Printing Inks: Cabot carbon blacks enhance formulations and deliver broad flexibility in meeting specific color requirements.

Coatings: Carbon blacks provide pigmentation, conductivity and UV protection for a number of coating applications including marine, aerospace and industrial.

Tires and Industrial Rubber Products: Carbon black is used in tire innerliners, carcasses, sidewalls and treads, as well as in industrial rubber products, like belts, hoses and gaskets.
