Masterbatch carbon blacks. (Materials).


Carbon blacks for the production of masterbatches and compounds are provided by the company. The carbon blacks have been developed specifically for film, pipe and electrostatic discharge (hardware, testing) Electrostatic Discharge - (ESD) One kind of test that hardware usually has to pass to prove it is suitable for sale and use. The hardware must still work after is has been subjected to some level of electrostatic discharge.  (ESD (1) (Electronic Software Distribution) Distributing new software and upgrades via the network rather than individual installations on each machine. See ESL. ) applications. Three black pigments for film masterbatches, Black Pearls 3030, 4040 and 4060, are said to each provide a particular performance balance in terms of opacity Refers to being "opaque," which means to prevent light from shining through. For example, in an image editing program, the opacity level for some function might range from completely transparent (0) to completely opaque (100). , weatherability, film smoothness and dispersability.

 carbon blacks join the company's existing Vulcan XC72 grade to offer compounders a choice of products with different performance characteristics to suit specific ESD applications. Vulcan XC605 is a premium conductive black, said to have particularly good performance with respect to the key criteria in this market segment, including conductivity, surface smoothness, stillness (flexural flexural
