Carbon Black Grades & Applications

Tire Grades

N120 Excellent performance in wide range of tread compounds from passenger to truck tires.
N121 Premium medium truck tread compounds. Industry standard for premium retread compounds.
N234 Truck and high performance tread compound. Premium precure tread compounds.
LH30 CCC EXCLUSIVE - Ultra premium passenger tire tread compounds that require N339 properties with low rolling resistance. Note: I2 is specified as a minimum delta of 7 from the NSA .
N326 Industry choice for steel belt skims, motor mounts. Good resistance to cut and tear, used in OTR compounds.
N330 Good wear properties and processing. Used in passenger through truck tires.
N339 Premium passenger tire tread compound. Motor mounts, solid tires, conveyor belts.
N343 Good quality versitile black for passenger tire tread compounds.
N351 Economical high structure black low hysteresis, passenger tire treads..
N550 Carcass and innerliner carbon black.
N650 Carcass and innerliner carbon black.
N660 Industry standard carcass / innerliner compound black.

MRG Grades

N550 Medium abrasion resistance. Good dimensional stability for extruded profiles, hose, belts, brakes, piping.
N650 Medium reinforcing Good weather stripping extrusions, roofing, hose, o-rings, innertubes, body mounts, cable.
N660 Medium reinforcing for inner tubes cable insulation, body mounts.
N683 mounts, cable.
N762 Low reinforcing, high loading capacity, low hysteresis. Used in hose, molded goods and solutions.
N774 Easy mixing, high loading, easy extrusion black. Used in belts, hoses, molded goods, footwear.

Specialty Grades

N110SP High reinforcement for superior abrasion resistance, SP has low pellet hardness and low grit for ease of mixing and appearance standards.
N220SP Superior abrasion resistance, SP has low pellet hardness and low grit for ease of mixing and appearance standards.
N330SP Economical wear and good processing in soft pelleted/low grit form. Excellent for curing bladders and other mix challanged compounds.
N326SP Soft pelleted and lower grit for special mixing situations and plastics.
N550-6 Low PNA N550 developed for pharmaceutical applications.
N774-6 Low PNA N774 developed for pharmaceutical applications.
