Carbon black is one of the most critical materials for tire production, rubber manufacturing, and industrial applications. Traditionally, it’s made from crude oil—a resource that is becoming more expensive, tightly regulated, and environmentally damaging.
Secondary Carbon Black (SCB) is the sustainable, profitable alternative.
Why Manufacturers Are Switching to SCB
Leading tire manufacturers have announced replacement targets:
-
10% SCB by 2025
-
40% by 2030
-
100% by 2050
The reasons are clear:
✔ SCB cuts CO₂ emissions by up to 85%
✔ SCB offers stable pricing unaffected by oil markets
✔ SCB reduces crude oil dependency
✔ SCB is produced from recycled waste—a circular process
Industrial Benefits
SCB is used in:
• Rubber goods
• Tire mixes
• Asphalt and road materials
• Plastics and pigments
• Construction additives
It matches or exceeds many mechanical properties of primary carbon black when processed correctly.
AGP Tech’s Advantage
Our TCC system produces high-quality SCB with an automated dust-free unloading system, ensuring clean material ready for post-processing.
With waste volumes rising, and sustainability becoming mandatory, SCB represents one of the most important industrial materials of the next decade.
