Birla Carbon
Carbon Black N330
Carbon black is the predominant reinforcing filler used in rubber compounds. Improvement in rubber properties is a function of physical and chemical characteristics including aggregate size and structure, particle size (surface area), surface activity, and porosity. Birla Carbon manufactures a wide range of surface area and structure combinations (ASTM designated N series and differentiated Birla Carbon products) offering tailored morphologies, controlled ash/residue levels, and consistent quality to deliver predictable performance in tire and industrial rubber applications.

System:
Polymer Masterbatch & ConcentrateFunction Description:
- Carbon black serves primarily as a reinforcing filler in rubber compounds to improve tensile strength, abrasion resistance, modulus and hysteresis control.
- It also functions as a pigment and conductive/processing additive in plastics, coatings and masterbatches.
- Performance is tuned via particle size, structure, surface activity and porosity to meet specific compounder requirements.
Applications & Uses:
- Reinforcing filler for passenger car, commercial and specialty tire treads and carcasses
- fillers in mechanical rubber goods (hoses, belts, profiles, O-rings, gaskets)
- masterbatch and compounding for plastics
- conductive and antistatic grades for electrical applications
- pigment in inks, coatings and plastics
- low-PAH grades for regulated applications.
Benefits:
- Wide range of ASTM N-series grades and differentiated Birla Carbon™ products for tailored reinforcement and processing
- controlled NSA/STSA and OAN for predictable in-rubber performance
- pelletized forms for easier handling and improved dispersion
- options with low PAH for regulatory targets
- consistent, well-characterized specifications for tire and mechanical rubber goods applications.
Performance Attributes:
- Provides measurable reinforcement (increased tensile strength and abrasion resistance) via controlled particle size and high specific surface area
- adjustable aggregate structure for modulation of modulus and compound viscosity
- porosity control influences effective volume fraction and conductivity
- pelletized grades improve handling, dispersion and dosing
- low-PAH options for regulatory compliance.
