Recovered Carbon Black (rCB)

Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) About

Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) is a high-value carbonaceous material produced through the controlled thermal processing of waste tyres and rubber products. It is recovered from end-of-life tyres and processed to obtain a consistent carbon-rich material suitable for various industrial applications.

rCB offers an economical and more sustainable alternative to conventional carbon black in selected applications. It contains carbon along with controlled levels of ash and other mineral components, depending on the feedstock and processing method. Its properties make it suitable for rubber, plastics, coatings, masterbatch, construction and other industrial applications.
