Cabot Corporation announces the launch of VULCAN® 3-LP carbon black, a new low polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) product for rubber applications.
VULCAN® 3-LP carbon black is the fourth product in the Cabot LP carbon black series, providing customers with a full suite of carbon black products for the use in applications that require a controlled, very low PAH content, such as consumer rubber goods as well as food and potable water contact applications.
Pelletized Form for Rubber Products
The VULCAN
® 3-LP product is a pelletized reinforcing carbon black that is engineered for end-use rubber products that need a higher
reinforcement, strength, abrasion and tearing resistance level than semi-reinforcing carbon blacks.
The full Cabot LP carbon black series, including VULCAN
® 3-LP carbon black, is manufactured through a special process to yield a consistent, very low level of PAH that comply with the increasing regulatory requirements and quality certifications across the globe that limit the content of PAH in certain rubber applications and the carbon black used to prepare them.
“
This launch demonstrates our ongoing commitment to develop innovative solutions that respond to the product performance needs of our customers,” said Valdemir Prodocimo, general manager, global industrial rubber products,
reinforcement materials segment. “
The VULCAN® 3-LP product broadens our morphology offering for low PAH carbon blacks and can be used as an alternative for high reinforced rubber products that are required to meet growing regulatory guidelines.”
