Carbon Black Feedstock
Carbon Black Feedstock is a mixture of C12 and higher components rich in naphthalene, methyl-indenes, anthracene, fluorene and other poly-aromatic components. It originates from the high temperature cracking of petroleum fractions.
Applications
Carbon Black Feedstock is used to produce Carbon Black, which is used as coloring agent in tires and road pavings. In addition, Carbon Black is used for tire reinforcements, black pigments (e.g. for road markings) or conductors. The stream also contains piperylene, which is used to produce copolymerization elastomers, petroleum resins, curing agents, pesticides and perfumes.
Carbon Black Feedstock may be used as a source for:
- Naphthalene for phthalic anhydride, insecticides and concrete plasticizers.
- Biphenyl for food preservatives, heat transfer fluids or various organic syntheses.
- Fluorene or anthracene for light emitting diodes (LED’s), dyes or wood preservatives.
