The incomplete burning of heavy petroleum compounds, such as coal tar, ethylene cracking tar, fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) tar, or vegetable matter, results in the production of carbon black. Surface modified carbon black can be used to directly color fabrics made of cotton, wool, acrylic, and nylon. Particularly in tires, a significant amount of carbon black is utilized to provide excellent rubber reinforcing. In addition to being a superb black pigment, carbon black is also a great coloring agent that is widely used in printing inks, paints, toners, and resin coloring.
Asia-Pacific Carbon Black Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Driving Factors: The green economy has the potential to advance social and environmental well-being, as well as economic growth and personal improvement. Promoting the adoption and advancement of sustainable technologies is a key component of the green economy. An alternative to virgin carbon black, which is made from burning crude oil, is recovered or green carbon black. Reusing items to reduce trash creation and reducing CO2 emissions are two benefits of using recovered carbon black from recycled tires.Black is the standard color for the vast majority of devices manufactured globally. Hence, carbon black is advised for the majority of electrical devices, including computers, laptops, televisions, and cell phones. This increases the demand for goods from the electronic industry.
