Acetylene carbon black is produced by refining acetylene with a purity of over 99%, obtained from the decomposition of by-product gases generated during the calcium carbide process or the thermal cracking of naphtha, followed by continuous thermal cracking. It appears as a black, extremely fine powder with a relative density of 1.95 (measured by nitrogen displacement method). It has a very high purity, with a carbon content exceeding 99.5%, hydrogen content below 0.1%, and oxygen content ranging from 0.07% to 0.26%. It features extremely low resistivity, excellent conductivity, good thermal conductivity, and anti-static properties.
Market Overview:
Regional Distribution: The Asia-Pacific region is the world's largest market for acetylene carbon black, accounting for approximately 68% of the market share, followed by the United States and Europe.
Application Areas: It is primarily used as a filler material for dry batteries and can also be applied in various conductive rubbers, silicone rubbers, cable shielding materials, anti-static materials, conveyor belts, conductive coatings, adhesives, PTC effect cables, tire capsules, and other applications. It also plays a significant role in fields such as lithium-ion batteries.
Development Trends:
Performance Enhancement Trends: As industries such as new energy continue to develop, the performance requirements for acetylene carbon black are constantly increasing. Companies will continue to research and develop to enhance its conductivity, structural stability, and other properties to meet the demands of high-performance applications such as lithium-ion batteries, such as developing products with high specific surface area and high graphitization levels to form more developed conductive networks.
Tighter Environmental Requirements: As environmental policies become increasingly stringent, acetylene carbon black manufacturers will place greater emphasis on environmental technology improvements to reduce carbon emissions during production. For example, Oulong acetylene black has a lower carbon footprint compared to other carbon black products, with significantly reduced CO2 equivalent emissions. More companies are likely to follow this direction in the future.
Expanding application areas: With the advancement of emerging industries, such as new energy storage technologies, acetylene carbon black is expected to find applications in more new fields, potentially expanding market demand further.
