Partnering with you to co-create efficient solutions

Plastics must be colorfast, durable, and in some cases, highly conductive. Many end-use plastics rely on the unique properties of carbon black to deliver all of these performance characteristics. In some plastics applications, however, one performance attribute takes precedence in shaping the desired result. Whatever your need may be, our technical experts will help you find the right solution from our full spectrum of Raven and Conductex specialty carbon blacks.

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

COLOR

High, medium, or low surface area Raven carbon blacks are incorporated during the production of concentrates or compounds to impart your desired level of jetness or tint in plastics parts produced by molding, extrusion, or other processes.

PROTECTION

By converting UV radiation into heat, our Raven carbon blacks protect polymers such as polyolefins and engineering resins from degradation that would otherwise occur due to the absorption of radiation. This resistance to UV absorption from sunlight exposure contributes to improved weatherability and a longer life for your plastic product.

CONDUCTIVITY

Whether you require semi-conductivity for power cable shielding or electrostatic dissipation for sensitive electronics, our Conductex carbon blacks deliver the appropriate levels of conductivity to a range of plastic applications.
