Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of plastic materials technology, specifically relating to a modified pigment carbon black, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon black is produced by the incomplete combustion or pyrolysis of hydrocarbons in the gas phase under strictly controlled process conditions. Its main component is elemental carbon, with small amounts of oxygen, hydrogen, and sulfur. It is a black powdery substance widely used in the flexible PVC plastics industry due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. As a colorant, conductive agent, and ultraviolet absorber in flexible PVC plastics, carbon black's applications mainly include enhancing the strength of plastics, improving their weather resistance, and increasing their electrical conductivity and antistatic properties. Currently, carbon black is produced using three methods: furnace method, tank method, and thermal cracking method. Among these, the oil furnace method is the most efficient and economical.
