Developing innovative materials for a better future

Visit Cabot Xuzhou Special Carbon Factory

The colorful world is incomplete without any col.

Up to now, Cabot has more than 40 factories around the world to provide products and services to the local market, of which 31 carbon black factories have a total annual output of more than 2 million tons, ranking first in the wor.

Yu Zhaohua, General Manager of Cabot Xuzhou Company, Asia Pacific Market Manager and Global Fiber Business Market Manager, said: "The Xuzhou plant has 2 production lines and has an annual production capacity of 50,000 tons of special carbon black, which will be one of the few in China that can produce special carbon bla.

Actively looking forward to market trends andaccurately matching needs

At present, Cabot has a complete range of carbon black products, in addition to basic varieties, it also provides customers with high-end products and quality servic.

Yu Zhaohua said: "When it comes to carbon black, more focus is on reinforcement, especially carbon black used in the tire indust.

At present, the Chinese market has become the most important part of Cabot's global syst.

In the past ten years, China's dope dyed fibers have generally been in a period of rapid industrial developme.

According to Yu Zhaohua, Cabot is the first carbon black company involved in the application of chemical fiber dope dyei.

Not only focusing on the chemical fiber industry, Cabot is also flourishing in the conductive carbon black sect.

Integrate application R&D and process R&Dto maintain a leading position in the industry

With the development of modern industry, the market demand for special carbon black is vast, the capacity is increasing, the industry concentration is strengthened, and the market share advantage of enterprises with leading technological advantages is more obvio.

"Special carbon black is characterized by refinement and specialization, and is widely used in many fields such as plastics, coatings, inks, military industry, electronics, communications, cables, optical cables, high-energy batteries, electrostatic photocopying, photosensitive materials, printing and dyeing, papermaking and metallur.

Wu Shengli, the Asia-Pacific plastics application market manager and Cabot's high-performance materials business, also believes: "Our R&D work must be close to the market and custome.

Wu Shengli said: "The spinning-grade carbon black sold by Cabot has been widely used in chemical fiber products such as polyester, nylon, polypropylene, spandex and cellulose fibe.

Wu Shengli said: "Cabot's products are closely following the market trend, and can even be said to lead the market tre.

Breaking through technical barriersto "give roses" to downstream 

As we all know, carbon black is one of the most commonly used coloring auxiliaries in dope dyeing spinning technolo.

Since entering the research and development of spinning grade carbon black, Cabot has continuously cooperated with universities and institutions to break through the bottleneck of dope coloring technology and contribute to environmental protecti.

Under the careful research of Cabot's R&D personnel, special surface treatment technology was invented, which perfectly solved the industry proble.

Especially a new spinning grade special carbon black BLACK PEARLS 5160, its blackness is a very good product in the chemical fiber industry, and its spinnability meets the requirements of the chemical fiber indust.

Industry insiders have also expressed that this technology not only avoids the problems of high energy consumption and high wastewater discharge in the dyeing process, but also improves the color fastness of the produ.

Dope dyed fibers have the following advantages: First, they are environmentally friend.

The colorant used in pre-spinning coloring does not contain prohibited structures and harmful components, is environmentally friendly, and will not cause harm to the human bo.

The second is high cost performan.

Compared with the re-dyeing process of spinning uncolored silk, the dyeing process before spinning only adds one masterbatch injection link, but the entire printing and dyeing process is eliminated, which reduces the consumption of raw materials, especially because there is no waste water, which saves huge pollution control cos.

According to statistics, the cost of dyeing before spinning is less than half of the cost of printing and dyei.

The third is low energy consumpti.

Spinning coloring only consumes electricity in the process of masterbatch processing and manufacturing and before use in chemical fiber plan.

The coloring energy consumption per ton of colored fibers is about 50 kWh, which is more energy-efficient than printing and dyei.

Relevant information shows that, at present, imported products in many application fields of special carbon black in China still domina.

The growing demand for plastics, paints and coatings in the construction, packaging and automotive industries is driving the demand for specialty carbon blac.

The industry is in a period of rapid growth in usage and a large number of new varieties being develop.

According to the forecast of the China Rubber Industry Association, the demand for carbon black for rubber will increase at an average annual rate of 15%, while the demand for special carbon black will increase at a rate of more than 1
Under such a market background, Cabot, the leader in the carbon black business, has continuously increased its investment in the Chinese market, innovated research and development in anticipation of market trends, and used practical actions to "give people roses" to serve China's special carbon market and related downstream industri.

The industry brings strong suppo.
