Orion announced the publication of a 104-page carbon black article in the Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology, covering both fundamentals and innovations.
Among the highlights in the report is a water-recycling project in drought-stricken South Africa, close to the one of the company's carbon black facilities.
The facility in the city of Huaibei in Anhui province will produce carbon black for a variety of applications, including coatings, printing inks, rubber, polymers, fiber, and rubber.
The recent Western Coatings Show in Las Vegas featured an exhibit hall packed with new technology for coatings formulators. This article offers a sampling of some of the raw materials and services showcased.
The technology is designed to improve Orion’s yield in the production of carbon black using circular feedstocks and potentially reducing the carbon footprint of the process.
The report from Fact.MR states that the global carbon black market size is estimated to be valued at US$ 26.2 billion in 2023 and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% to reach US$ 46.9 billion by the end of 2033.
