Carbon Black Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Demand for Specialty Carbon Black

Specialty carbon black is the purest form of carbon black. It contains a low level of sulfur, metals,  ash, and other impurities. It is made through the partial combustion of hydrocarbons, including oil and gas in order to meet rigorous specifications and deliver necessary functionality as per the end-use requirements. Specialty carbon black finds application as a reinforcing agent in belts, gaskets, vibration isolation devices, hoses, diaphragms, bushings, chassis bumpers, air springs, conveyor wheels, and grommets. In addition, it is also used in refuse sacks, industrial bags, photographic containers, agriculture mulch film, stretch wrap, thermoplastic molding applications for electrical/electronics,  automotive, and blow-molded containers.

Rising Need for Green Alternatives

There is a rising need for green alternatives with a growing focus on sustainability. The green economy helps to promote economic development and improve people's lives while promoting environmental well-being. Green or recovered carbon black is emerging as an alternative to virgin carbon black manufactured from the combustion of crude oil. There are various benefits of carbon black recovered from recycled tires as it contributes to a significant decrease in CO2 emissions and also emphasizes reusing products to minimize waste generation. Thus, the rising need for green alternatives, such as green or recovered carbon black, is expected to offer more opportunities for market growth.
