2.000 to 2.500 liters of crude oil*
carbon black is produced each year, causing emissions of 35 - 40 mln ton CO₂
in tires
are dumped, landfilled or burned, with them ~4,5 mln tons of carbon black is wasted into the environment
11
*Currently under investigation as we learn that much higher amounts of crude oil or gas are often required to produce many specialty pigment grades
(e.g. dust, CO, SO₂, NO₂, VOCs)
With one BBC production line we put >15 kton waste tires to valuable use and save more CO₂ than 1 million trees consume

The CO2 benefits can be capitalized in various ways:
steam, gas or electricity

BBC T30 imparts higher mechanical reinforcement than N330 with lower modulus and a step-improvement in dynamic performance

>> For all values: high = good
(carbon black evaluation in natural rubber)
temperature sweep, frequency 1 Hz, strain 2%
BBC T30S provides comparable/improved mechanical performance than N660 at a slightly lower modulus and enhances dynamic performance with a marked improvement in flex fatigue

adjusted to compensate the effect of silica
BBC T30S is receptive to silane-coupling. For example, the addition of 1.5% silane (Si69) will increase tensile modulus M300 by around 30% in SBR recipes
Compared with N347 an 80:20 blend of N330:BBC T30 imparts better abrasion and tear resistance with a marked improvement in dynamic performance

In conclusion, we seek launching partners within the Agricultural Tire Sector with a flare for Innovation, and a desire to improve their tire performance in the ‘greenest’ way possible!
We believe: 1. Our upcycled carbon blacks can improve tire performance in the areas of durability and reduced rolling resistance 2. We will drastically improve your carbon footprint!!
