Definitions
Carbon black is the generic name for a family of small-size, mostly amorphous, or paracrystalline carbon particles grown together to aggregates of different sizes and shapes and is a modification of carbon with high surface area-to-volume ratio. Carbon black is formed in the gas phase by the thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons from various sources and in that way is industrially manufactured in the form of hundreds of defined commercial grades that vary in their primary particle size, aggregate size and shape, porosity as well as surface area and chemistry. The properties can be precisely controlled by varying the process type and process conditions. This distinguishes carbon black from other forms of soot being the term for mostly undesired, sometimes hazardous solid carbon by-products from the uncontrolled combustion of carbonaceous material. Carbon black is mainly used as a reinforcing filler in tires and other rubber products. Specialty grades are used as black color...
