Rubber compounding & retreading
Reinforcement, cost and circular content in moulded, extruded and tread compounds.
Carbon black for rubber compounding & retreadingIndustries served: rubber, plastics, cable, ESD and batteries
Each industry needs a different carbon black: grade, form, loading and documentation. Choose your industry to see which Budcon International products fit.
