BBC 500 sets an industry standard for 'green' carbon black from end-of-life tires

摘要

The Dutch company BlaekBear Carbon BV (Eindhoven, the Netherlands, founded in 2010) offers a breakthrough in the conversion of waste tires into state-of-the-art carbon black and "green" energy. Its challenge in producing a high quality "green" alternative to furnace carbon black was to overcome problems such as high volatile contents, bad smell, high levels of toxic PAHs, low rubber reinforcing characteristics and product variability that hitherto remained largely unresolved, thereby blocking the road to large-scale commercialization. BlackBear's product BBC 500 has been successfully manufactured in industrial-size plants and has been positively evaluated by a wide spectrum of potential future customers. It has proven innovative state-of-the-art technology and a sound product-market proposition and brings a paradigm shift to the carbon black market, meeting the specific needs of customers in the rubber industry and the general needs of the environment.
