Carbon black types Two types of carbon black are commonly used by the rubber industry for reinforcing rubber. The first is the so-called hard carbon black which imparts high wear resistance to rubber into which it has been compounded. Hard carbon black is generally used to make vehicular tire treads. Another type of carbon black, …
A small percentage of crude oil is refined into lubricants, and a fraction of that is further processed to produce wax products. During vacuum distillation, paraffin and microcrystalline waxes are separated from lubricating oils. Slack wax is a by-product of lubricating oil refining and is classified as part of the lubricating oils layer in the …
Paraffin wax is a by-product that arises during the process of refining oil. It is primarily derived from gas oil or kerosene obtained from the distillation tower within an oil refinery. Uses of Paraffin Wax: • Production of candles • Formulation of paints • Creation of waterproof coatings • Thermal and electrical insulation • Application …
Bitumen is a dense substance that exists in a range between liquid and semi-solid states. It is characterized by its dark brown or black color and is primarily composed of asphaltene resin and other petroleum derivatives. Different compositions result in varying properties of bitumen. The main application of bitumen (around 70%) is in road construction, …
Butadiene Rubber, is a synthetic rubber produced by copolymerizing styrene and butadiene monomers. It combines the strengths of both components, offering good abrasion resistance, flexibility, and resistance to aging. SBR is extensively used in the manufacturing of tires, footwear, conveyor belts, gaskets, and various molded rubber goods. It provides excellent mechanical properties and cost-effectiveness, making …
