AROSPERSE® 15

CAS Number
1333-86-4
EC Number
215-609-9
Chemical Name
Carbon Black

AROSPERSE® 15 thermal black is the largest particle sized DEC carbon black available. It is an extremely clean (low sieve residue) thermal black that produces smooth extrusions finding applications in XLPE electrical cable insulation / jacketing, thin wall membranes of many types and metals refining. It also works well in hose & liners, sponge applications, gaskets and as an extender for fluorocarbons. It provides excellent compression set properties.
