Tire Rubber Carbon Blacks

Carbon Black Tire Grades

Carbon black is used in various formulations with different rubber types to customize the performance properties of tires. Engineers combine different tread and carcass grades of carbon black to optimize such properties as handling, treadwear, fuel mileage, hysteresis and abrasion resistance for the ever changing needs of today’s drivers.

Grades & Applications

N220

Truck and high performance. Excellent abrasion resistance, high tensile and good tear.

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.

N326

Industry choice for steel belt skims, and motor mounts. Good resistance to cut and tear, and 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, and conveyor belts.

n351

Economical high structure, low hysteresis passenger tire tread grade carbon black.

N550

Carcass and innerliner carbon black.

n650

Carcass and innerliner carbon black.

N660

Industry standard carcass / innerliner compound black.
