ASTM Grades: |
|
N220 |
 |
Provides
excellent abrasion resistance, high tensile, good tear
properties, moderate electrical conductivity. Used in truck and
passenger tires, and mechanical goods. |
|
N299 |
 |
Provides
abrasion resistance superior to N339, N375, N220 and comparable
to N234. Used in truck and passenger tires, tread rubber and
mechanical goods. |
|
N326 |
 |
Low
structure, high reinforcement, high tensile strength, very
resistant to tear and chipping in natural rubber compounds. Used
in mechanical goods, tire carcasses, belts and off the road
tread. |
|
N330 |
 |
Provides
good abrasion resistance with high resilience, easy processing,
good tensile and tear properties. Wide range of applications in
natural rubber and synthetic rubber compounds for both tires and
mechanical goods. |
|
N234 |
 |
Provides superior abrasion resistance vs. N220. Excellent wear
and extrusion properties typical of improved process high
structure blacks. Used in all elastomers, especially SBR/BR
blends for treads and tread rubber. |
|
N339 |
 |
Provides
superior wear and cut growth resistance vs. N347. Excellent wear
and extrusion properties typical of improved process high
structure blacks. Used in passenger treads, tread rubber and
mechanical goods. |
|
N347 |
 |
Used in NR,
SR. Provides excellent processing characteristics and permits
use of high oil loading with low die swell. Better hysteresis
properties than improved treadwear versions. Used in treads,
tread rubber and mechanical goods. |
|
N351 |
 |
Provides
good abrasion resistance in the N330 range. High structure, high
modulus black with easy processing characteristics. Excellent
dynamic properties. Used in the tire tread and carcass compounds
and mechanical goods. |
|
N358 |
 |
Extra high
structure. This can accommodate more oil than normal for
equivalent modulus and hardness. Used in tire treads, tread
rubber and mechanical goods. |
| N550 |
 |
Imparts
medium abrasion resistance, high strength, low shrinkage and die
swell. Provides fast, smooth extrusions and relatively high
resilience. Used in tire carcasses, cushion gum, tubing, cable
jacketing, plastic conduit compounds and in extruded goods
requiring excellent dimensional stability. |
| N650 |
 |
High
structure, medium reinforcement gives low die swell, smooth
extrusion and easy processing plus economical compounding. Used
in tire carcasses and sidewalls, cable jackets, inner tubes and
hoses. |
| N660 |
 |
Moderately
reinforcing grade. Excellent general purpose black. Provides
good reinforcement, low heat generation, smooth processing to
all elastomers. Used in tire carcass sidewalls and mechanical
goods. |
| N762 |
 |
Moderate
reinforcer, gives high resilience and excellent dynamic
properties, low hysteresis, high loadings obtainable. Used for
extruded goods, belts and hoses, and molded goods. Also used in
plastic color concentrates. |
| N772 |
 |
Moderate
reinforcer, gives high resilience and excellent dynamic
properties, used in tire carcass and mechanical goods. |
| N774 |
 |
Moderate
reinforcer, gives high resilience and excellent dynamic
properties, low hysteresis, high loadings obtainable. Used in
tire carcasses and sidewalls, extruded goods, belts and hose.
Also used in plastics color concentrates. |
|
Specialty Grades: |

surface defects cannot be tolerated. |
| SR630 |
 |
Low sieve residue N650 for plastic and rubber applications where
surface defects cannot be tolerated. |
| SR730 |
 |
Low sieve residue N762 for plastic and rubber applications where
surface defects cannot be tolerated. |
