Due to its large particle size and low structure, Cancarb’s Thermax® N990 is an ideal choice for applications that require strong dynamic properties, such as bushings, engine mounts, bump stops, and other NVH components. Check out this webinar recording to discover how Thermax® N990 medium thermal carbon black stacks up against other types of carbon black.

Cancarb Limited has earned its third Platinum Sustainability Rating from EcoVadis, a global provider of corporate and environmental scorecards. The maker of Thermax® medium thermal carbon black also received EcoVadis’ highest rating in 2021 and 2023. Cancarb uses waste heat from its energy-efficient operations to help power its community and has developed a low-PAH product to address environmental health and safety concerns.

Join us on Thursday, October 3, 2024, from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM (ET) for a free webinar about the dynamic property advantages of Cancarb Thermax® N990 in rubber compounding. Due to its large particle size and low structure, compared to other types of carbon black, Thermax® N990 is an ideal choice for applications that require strong dynamic properties, such as bushings, engine mounts, bump stops, and other NVH components.

Cancarb Limited has published a Tensile Strength Distribution Technical Bulletin that shows how formulating nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) with Thermax® N990 improves dispersion quality and supports potential cost reductions. The study compared nine materials, including two Thermax® medium thermal carbon black materials, and used tensile strength distribution instead of optical instruments to evaluate dispersion quality.

TLARGI will host a new March Extravaganza event on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, from 12:00 to 8:00 PM (PT) at the Knott’s Berry Farm Hotel in Buena Park, California. RDAbbott will exhibit during the event’s Mini Expo and provide a technical presentation during its Technical Conference. Parker Lord and Cancarb Limited, two of RDAbbott’s supplier partners, will also deliver technical presentations.

Cancarb Limited has published a Technical Bulletin that shows how Thermax® N990, a medium thermal carbon black, improves compounding and boosts the performance of EPDM gaskets for polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells. The benefits of adding Thermax® N990 to EPDM include good compression set, low-temperature flexibility, and increased resistance to heat and chemicals.

Cancarb Limited has published a Technical Bulletin with the results of Concrete Water Immersion and Accelerated Weather Testing. The test compared the use of Thermax® N990, a medium thermal carbon black, and CARBOCOLOR®, a concrete colorant, to black iron oxide in concrete. The Cancarb products provided superior tint strength and weather resistance.

For the second time in three years, Cancarb Limited has received the highest possible sustainability rating from EcoVadis, a global provider of corporate and environmental scorecards. Cancarb’s Platinum Sustainability Rating indicates that the maker of Thermax® medium thermal carbon black is in the top 1% of rated suppliers.

RDAbbott has joined forces with Cancarb Limited as its exclusive distributor for Thermax® brand medium thermal carbon black in Mexico. This strategic agreement, effective June 25, 2023, aims to expand market presence and deliver exceptional technical support to customers. RDAbbott’s Mexico subsidiary, RDAbbott de México S. de R.L. de C.V., will facilitate and manage the distribution operations locally. RDAbbott has represented Cancarb products in the United States and Canada since 2017.

Electrical resistivity is an important property for various EPDM applications, such as wire and cable, battery and fuel cell gaskets, and automotive profiles. To achieve the specified electrical resistivity values in these applications, it is necessary to replace smaller particle size furnace blacks with mineral fillers and/or larger particle size carbon blacks. This 47-minute presentation highlights the results of Cancarb’s technical study that compared blends of hard clay, Thermax® N990, and N550, and evaluated how the size, structure, and surface chemistry of these filler systems impact the insulative and conductive behaviors of the EPDM compounds.
