Across global plastics processing — PP, PE, ABS, PA, PBT, PC, EVA, TPU, PVDF — most manufacturers still rely on conventional rubber-grade carbon blacks (N330, N550, N660, N772, N990) because they are widely available and inexpensive.
These conventional grades were never designed for plastics.
Conductive & ESD furnace blacks
Semi-, non-reinforcing + thermal-type blacks for
flow & UV performance
Low-odor, low-volatility plastics blacks
Premium jetness / aesthetic pigment blacks
balanced reinforcement & controlled viscosity
