Kremenchug begins offering ultra-clean grades of carbon black

European Rubber Journal (subscription required) reports that Ukrainian carbon black producer Kremenchug Carbon Black Plant is now offering ultra-clean grades of carbon black for technical rubber and automotive applications. The new grades, which offer sieve residues below 10 ppm, were developed through a joint development project with PentaCarbon GmbH, a German carbon black distributor, which is also selling these grades. The new grades are especially useful for rubber components requiring very high surface quality, such as wiper blades and vehicle weather stripping.
