Carbon black is a critical reinforcing agent used in the rubber and plastic industries. It enhances strength, wear resistance, and durability across a variety of applications. The rubber industry primarily uses two types of carbon black, each offering distinct performance characteristics. ⸻ Types of Carbon Black Hard Carbon Black (N100–N300 Series) Known for its high abrasion resistance, hard carbon black is commonly used in the production of vehicle tire treads. It imparts stiffness, toughness, and low resilience to rubber compounds, making it ideal for high-wear applications. Soft Carbon Black (N500–N700 Series) Designed for flexibility, soft carbon black is used in components such as tire carcasses, where significant flexing occurs. It provides a softer, more elastic, and resilient rubber compound while maintaining strength and durability. Note: The production processes of hard and soft carbon black differ significantly, resulting in distinct physical and reinforcing properties. ⸻ Applications             •          Tires (treads and carcasses)             •          Rubber and plastic components             •          Pigments in printing inks and coatings             •          UV protection and conductivity in coatings             •          Reinforcing agent in rubber isolation and footwear ⸻ Industries of Use             •          Automotive             •          Footwear             •          Construction (rubber isolation)             •          Paint and coatings             •          Printing and packaging

Paraffin wax is a refined oil by-product, primarily obtained from gas oil or kerosene during the distillation process in oil refineries. Known for its versatility and stable properties, it is widely used across various industries. ⸻ Applications             •          Candle production             •          Paint formulations             •          Waterproof coatings             •          Thermal and electrical insulation             •          Paper coating and finishing             •          Adhesives manufacturing             •          Cosmetic products             •          Hygiene and personal care items ⸻ Grades of Paraffin Wax             •          High-Quality Paraffin Wax: Features low oil content, no moisture, odorless composition, and excellent structural integrity.             •          Medium-Quality Paraffin Wax: Contains a slightly higher oil content and is suitable for general-purpose applications. Key Characteristics             •          Low oil content             •          High melting point             •          Pale color             •          Low penetration rate             •          Strong and non-brittle structure ⸻ Packaging Options             •          Slab in carton             •          Slab in polypropylene (P.P)             •          New steel drums ⸻ Storage Guidelines For optimal shelf life, store indoors. If outdoor storage is necessary, ensure the product is covered and protected from direct sunlight, rain, and moisture. Safety & Handling Stable under normal storage conditions. Paraffin wax is not expected to irritate the skin or eyes during typical handling procedures. ⸻ Industries of Use             •          Textile             •          Insulation             •          Candle manufacturing             •          Paints and coatings             •          Paper and packaging             •          Adhesives             •          Cosmetics and hygiene products
