World carbon black report available from reportLinker

ERJ staff report (DS)

London -- BizAcumen has published a new report titled, Carbon Black - A World Market Review . The 15-chapter report was first published in November 2009 and is available for a price of around Euro 2400, depending on delivery options.

The publishers say, "Demand for carbon black is driven mainly by the steady expansion of the global rubber market. Most of the demand for carbon black arises from tires as compared to non-tire rubber products. However, the virgin carbon black industry is likely to come under increased pressure from governments and environmental groups, as this product is a significant greenhouse gas emitter. Another major issue is the emergence of silica and other silanes as major substitutes to carbon black due to better performance and environmental friendly nature. These products reduce rolling resistance in tires and at the same time improve fuel efficiency. As a result, these products are increasingly finding usage in tires market."
