Applications of Recovered Carbon Black (rCB)

Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) is a sustainable, high-performance alternative to Virgin Carbon Black (vCB). It improves strength, durability, and efficiency across industries—while reducing costs and environmental impact.

Depending on the application, rCB can replace 10% to 100% of vCB. While non-rubber industries often adopt higher substitution, tyre manufacturers typically blend it at lower ratios due to regulatory and performance factors.

Tyre Manufacturing

rCB is widely used in tyre production to improve durability, rolling resistance, and overall performance.

Applications:

  • Innerliners – Improves air retention, reducing tyre deflation.
  • Carcasses – Strengthens tyre structure for higher impact resistance.
  • Sidewalls – Enhance flexibility and weather resistance.
  • Treads – Provides better grip, abrasion resistance, and longevity.

Key Benefits:

  • Extends tyre lifespan.
  • Improves fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance.
  • Supports the circular economy by reusing end-of-life tyres.
