| Subject: Introduction Of Carbon black(CAS No.: 1333-86-4) Thu Jul 14, 2011 1:50 pm | |
| Carbon black (CAS no 1333-86-4), a form of amorphous carbon, is a kind of black pellet or powder and it mainly consists of carbon element. This material could be produced from the incomplete combustion or thermal decomposition of hydrocarbon compoud with solid, liquid, and gaseous state.
Carbon black can be used as a pigment in inks, coatings and plastics. For example, it could be added to polypropylene because it absorbs ultraviolet radiation which could cause the material to degrade.
Besides, used in reinforcing phase in automobile tires, this chemical could help conduct heat away from the tread and belt area of the tire, reducing the thermal damage and increasing tire life. Carbon black particles are also employed in some radar absorbent materials and in photocopier and laser printer toner. Carbon black from vegetable origin is used as a food coloring, and it is also known as additive E153 in Europe.
Carbon black differs in color depth, appearance and proportion if produced by different manufacturing processes. And by now the production processes of this chemical are mainly the below three ways: furnace black process, thermal black process and channel process. |
