Specialty Carbon Blacks
for Plastics, Rubber, Power Cables and Paint Applications
Main features
Specialty carbon blacks produced by TIMCAL BELGIUM are socalled
‘conductive carbon blacks’ having a high level of
structure with chain-like aggregates. These enable the building
of a conductive network in polymers at low to very low carbon
black levels. The various ENSACO carbon blacks differ by their
specific surface area, structure level and stability. They offer a
good protection against electrostatic discharges and electromagnetic
interferences. As an example, good balance of properties
is achieved with:
ENSACOTM 250 G
• conductive carbon black
• low surface area and high structure
• easily dispersible
• high purity
• low water absorption
• low cure inhibition
• suitable for most polymer applications
