VULCAN® XCMAX™55 EXTRA CONDUCTIVE CARBON BLACK FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE PLASTICS
Cabot Corporation will present its new VULCAN® XCmax™55 extra conductive carbon black.
This next-generation product in our conductive product portfolio delivers high conductivity at low loadings, without compromising mechanical performance or processability.
This launch is timely with sustainability and energy efficiency needs fueling the demand for materials that offer high conductivity at lower loadings. As such, conductive plastics are on the rise as industries push for lighter, more efficient materials. In automotive, they help boost fuel efficiency in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and extend range in electric vehicles (EVs). Other sectors —like electronics, packaging, and industrial equipment — are adopting them for static control, shielding, and safety. With sustainability as a priority, manufacturers are seeking high-conductivity solutions that work at lower loadings, reducing material use without sacrificing performance.
Building on the success of our VULCAN® XCmax™22 extra conductive carbon black, VULCAN® XCmax™55 extra conductive carbon black meets this growing demand. It features a unique morphology and close-to-zero surface reactivity, making it ideal for complex formulations and high-performance conductive applications.
Key benefits of VULCAN® XCmax™55 extra conductive carbon black include:
- High conductivity at lower loadings
- Clean, aesthetic finish
- Low chemical interaction with resins, additives, fillers, and catalysts
- Improved processability and stronger mechanical properties
