Cancarb Limited has published a Technical Bulletin about the benefits of using Thermax® N990CG in milking liners made of nitrile butadiene rubber. Thermax® N990CG is an FDA-approved thermal carbon black that’s designed to improve the properties and performance of rubber that’s used repeatedly with food items.
Cancarb Limited has published a Technical Bulletin about the benefits of using Thermax® N990CG in milking liners made of silicone. Thermax® N990CG is an FDA-approved thermal carbon black that’s designed to improve the properties and performance of rubber that’s used repeatedly with food items.
Cancarb Limited has completed and commissioned a new solar power facility in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. The project underscores Cancarb’s long-standing commitment to environmental sustainability and will provide a substantial portion of the electricity required for its thermal carbon black manufacturing operations.
On Thursday, September 24, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM (ET) we invite you to learn how Thermax® N990CG, a low PAH thermal carbon black, can serve as a drop-in replacement for standard Thermax N990 in rubber formulations, while ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory requirements for food contact and potable water applications. Cancarb’s Ed Norton, Technical Service Manager, and Chris Sawicki, Americas Marketing Representative, are the presenters.
Join us April 28 – 29, 2026, in Barberton, Ohio, for Organic Elastomers 360°, a multifaceted training event where you’ll learn how to examine the performance of organic elastomers from every angle. This hands-on event is hosted by RDAbbott in collaboration with Akron Rubber Development Laboratory (ARDL) and features expert contributions from companies across the rubber industry.
Thermax® N990CG medium thermal carbon black meets the requirements for carbon black specified in EU 10/2011, enabling its use in water gaskets. It also carries an effective Food Contact Notification (FCN No. 2420), allowing it to be used in applications covered under CFR 177.2600 rubber articles intended for repeated use. By watching this webinar recording, you’ll learn how Thermax® N990CG can serve as a drop-in replacement for standard N990 in rubber formulations, while ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory requirements for food contact and consumer goods.
Thermax® N990CG from Cancarb Limited meets U.S. and European Union (EU) regulations for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), chemicals that have been classified as carcinogenic to humans. Thermax® N990CG meets EU 1272/2013 and EU 10/2011 standards and has a Food Contact Notification (FCN) from the FDA.

Cancarb is underscoring its commitment to sustainability by installing 7,000 solar panels near its carbon black plant in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. The project will provide the production facility with approximately 3.5 MW of renewable energy and supports the sustainability goals of Cancarb’s parent company and its customers.
Cancarb Limited recently announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its Food Contact Notification (FCN) for Thermax® N990CG, a drop-in replacement for Thermax® N990 with low levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).
