PERFORMANCE FEATURES

The effect of VULCAN P carbon black on electrical conductivity in rubber compounds is dependent on carbon black loading. The VULCAN P percolation curve relative to other carbon blacks in rubber can be found below.

Rubber components having electrical resistivity in the range 103 to 106 ohm·cm are normally classified as “antistatic” and components below 103 ohm·cm are classified as “conductive”. VULCAN P carbon black can meet these conductivity requirements without need for very high carbon black loadings. Its dispersion and processing in rubber is easier than very super conductive carbon black products.

The rubber reinforcement properties of VULCAN P carbon black are comparable to those of ASTM N300 type carbon blacks.
