VULCAN XC72 carbon black
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
VULCAN XC72 carbon black is designed to impart electrical conductivity to rubber
and plastic compounds. VULCAN XC72 carbon black has exceptional purity,
demonstrated by an extremely low solvent extract level, sulfur content, ash level
and sieve residue.
VULCAN XC72 carbon black is an industry standard, with proven performance for
conductivity for many years in a wide range of anti-static and conductive rubber
and plastic applications.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
VULCAN XC72 carbon black has better electrical conductivity properties in rubber
than Cabot VULCAN P and STERLING® C conductive carbon blacks. The percolation
curve of VULCAN XC72 carbon black relative to other carbon blacks in rubber can be
found below.
Rubber components having electrical resistivity in the range of 103 to 106 ohm·cm
are normally classified as “antistatic” and components below 103 ohm·cm are
classified as “conductive.” VULCAN XC72 carbon black can meet these conductivity
requirements without the need for very high carbon black loadings. VULCAN XC72
carbon black is easier to disperse in rubber than VULCAN P and STERLING C
conductive carbon blacks.
VULCAN XC72 carbon blacks has better dynamic properties than VULCAN P and
STERLING C conductive carbon blacks.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Anti-static and conductive rubber applications
Hospital flooring and sheeting
