Description

The Furnace Black method creates Carbon Black with primary particle sizes ranging from 10 to 80 nm. The primary particle size is mentioned to indicate the application properties of a given product. Free primary particles do not exist as they are strongly fused together and form so-called aggregates.

The key parameters of furnace black are in Table 1.
