Carbon Blacks for Elastomer Reinforcement
We are the global leader in reinforcing agents for high performance tires and specialized industrial rubber products.
We offer a broad portfolio of reinforcing agents, including the VULCAN®, STERLING®, REGAL®, ENDURE®, SPHERON® and PROPEL® product families. Carbon black is the predominant reinforcing agent used to improve the processing, strength and durability of elastomer-based composites in most rubber applications.
Our portfolio includes carbon black products specifically designed for tires as well as automotive and non-automotive industrial rubber products:
- Conductive carbon blacks include VULCAN® XC72, an industry standard for conductivity and the flagship product of our VULCAN XC brand of conductive carbon blacks.
- Reinforcing carbon blacks include our VULCAN, PROPEL, REGAL and ENDURE product lines for use in tires and industrial rubber product applications.
- Semi-reinforcing carbon blacks include our STERLING, SPHERON and REGAL product lines for use in tire carcasses and industrial rubber product applications.
- Ultra-clean carbon blacks include our SPHERON A product lines for use in extruded applications that require "Class A" surface perfection, such as automotive weather stripping.
