Carbon black is categorized into two types,

• Hard carbon black:

It imparts high wear resistance to rubber into which it has been compounded. Hard carbon black is generally used to make vehicular tire treads. Hard carbon blacks are commonly classified as being in the N-100, N-200 (N-220, N-234) and N-300 (N-330, N-339, N-375) series.

• Soft carbon black:

 Another type of carbon black, which imparts a different set of properties to rubber is a so-called “soft carbon black”. Soft carbon blacks are generally used to reinforce rubber where a great deal of flexing is expected to be encountered, such as in tire carcasses. Soft carbon blacks are commonly classified as being in the N500 (N-550), N600 and N700 (N-772) series.

The future of the global carbon black market looks promising with opportunities in the transportation, industrial, and building and construction sectors. The global carbon black market is expected to reach an estimated $25.6 billion by 2027 with a CAGR of 6.9% from 2021 to 2027. The major drivers for this market are increasing tire production, growth in the plastic and coating market, and increasing penetration of specialty carbon black to enhance UV protection, pigmentation, and conductivity/anti-static properties in various applications.

Based on region, Asia pacific is dominating the Carbon black market, followed by Europe. Asia Pacific accounted for a market share of more than 50% of the global Carbon black market in 2021. The tire and rubber industries are lubricating the Carbon black market across the Asia Pacific region. Across various developing nations like China and India, government is focusing toward making countries 100% electric vehicle nation by 2030 such as in India under the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan is expected to push demand for automobiles in the coming years. This demand in turn would aid growth in ancillary industries such as tire industry, which use Carbon black as their primary raw material. Moreover, demand for industrial rubber such as in conveyor belts and hoses is anticipated to positively influence Carbon black demand in India as well.

Hard carbon black, gives high wear-resistance, high resistance to rupture, tear resistance to rubber, high dynamic hardness and elastic rebound to rubber, high durability and low hysteresis. Widely used for producing:

• High quality protecting rubbers and protecting stocks
• Transporter and conveyor belts
• Breaker rubber
• Technical seals
• Cable cover

Soft carbon black, gives high elastic to rubber, middle hardness and has high ability for filing and high profiling properties. Widely used for producing:

• Framed and breaker rubbers
• Profiling articles
• Molded articles
• Roof coverings
• Technical seals
• Footwear
• Sleeves
• Cables
• Tubes
• Tires

• Packing in double layer Kraft Paper-PE envelopes (20-25 Kg)
• Packing in PP-PE Jumbo Bag-Double valve (850-1100 Kg)
