LONGER LASTING. FUEL EFFICIENT. SUSTAINABLE.
Carbon black plays a key role in improving properties important to tire manufacturing and tire performance. Our complete line of high-quality ASTM-grade carbon blacks for tire producers deliver increased durability and reinforcement for added product life.
Selecting the right carbon black for each component of the tire is important in providing the optimal balance of properties. Rely on us to work with you to match the right product to your precise application.
In tire tread compounds, the balance between wear resistance, rolling resistance and traction is critical. Our line of patented enhanced performance carbon blacks has been designed to improve treadwear and rolling resistance, while maintaining traction. This is an important step toward meeting the ever-changing industry standards required for tire labeling and fuel economy.
Other carbon blacks have been formulated to further reduce non-tread compound hysteresis and improve inner liner permeability that helps to increase tire life and fuel economy.
Our technology services teams are focused on developing new grades of carbon black for further improvements in treadwear and reducing heat buildup in the tread and non-tread components. These improvements can reduce CO2 emissions, also improving fuel economy and tire life. The result is more environmentally friendly products for sustainable transportation and a cleaner planet.

ALL TIRE PRODUCTS
Birla Carbon™ 1004
An exclusive Birla Carbon product with a low surface area and medium-low structure grade for use in applications requiring Ultra® clean carbons for excellent surface finish and durability as might be required for use in dense and blown weatherstrip for a matte finish and low conductivity. Also useful in radiator hoses for reduced conductivity and prevention of electrochemical degradation and in innerliners at higher loadings for reduced permeability.
Birla Carbon™ 1029
An exclusive Birla Carbon product with a higher surface area and medium-low structure carbon black designed for use in applications requiring Ultra® clean carbons for excellent surface finish and durability as might be required for dense weatherstrip, dynamic applications or thin-walled, injection molded parts. This product can be used at lower loadings to reduce costs.
Birla Carbon™ 1031
An exclusive Birla Carbon product with medium surface area and structure carbon black designed for use in applications requiring Ultra® clean carbons for excellent surface finish and durability as might be required for dense weatherstrip, dynamic applications or thin-walled, injection molded parts.
Birla Carbon™ 1034
An exclusive Birla Carbon product with a lower surface area and medium-low structure carbon black designed for use in applications requiring Ultra® clean carbons for excellent surface finish and durability as might be required for blown weatherstrip, dynamic applications or thin-walled, injection molded parts.
Birla Carbon™ 1041
An exclusive Birla Carbon product with a medium surface area and lower structure carbon black designed for use in applications requiring Ultra® clean carbons for excellent surface finish and durability as might be required for dense weatherstrip, dynamic applications or thin-walled, injection molded parts.
N539
A medium surface area and lower structure carbon black as a general purpose grade for use in body compounds in passenger tires and numerous rubber goods where low heat buildup, long fatigue life, stiffness and tensile strength are required. Also offers good compounding flexibility for designing a wide range of compounds with varied levels of hardness and reinforcement.
N660
A lower surface area and medium-low structure carbon black as a general purpose grade for use in body compounds in passenger tires, including innerliners, as well as numerous rubber goods where even lower heat buildup, long fatigue life and good processibility, such as injection molding, are required.
