Tyres are used in a variety of transport equipment e.g. passenger cars, trucks, dumpers and excavators, two wheelers, airplanes, racing cars. There are 18 standard grades of Carbon Black and many tyre customers have specifications of their own too.

Various grades of Carbon Black in conjunction with rubber and a number of other chemicals are used to impart the desired properties to the tyre.
