Abstract:
The carbon black industry is growing rapidly after
World War II together with the expansion of synthetic
rubber and automobile industries. By 1975, the total
free world production of carbon black was estimated
at 4.2 million tons per year. Approximately 55% of
this tremendous annual production is used for reinforcing
agent in rubber tires, 35% for non-tire rubber, 10%
for non rubber application such as pigments as undermentioned.
Especially in the developing countries, the
demand for carbon black is expected to increase more
rapidly than before with the development of automobile
industry and other rubber products making industries.
