Carbon black is mainly used as a reinforcing agent and filler for rubber, and its consumption is about half of that of rubber. Carbon black for rubber accounts for 94% of the total carbon black, of which about 60% is used in tire manufacturing. In addition, it is also used as a colorant for inks, coatings, and plastics, as well as a UV shielding agent for plastic products. It is also an important additive in many other products, such as electrodes, dry batteries, resistors, explosives, cosmetics, and polishing pastes.
