Differences between Carbon Black and Precipitated Silica
Carbon black and precipitated silica(SiO2) can both be used in rubber industry,and what are the differences between carbon black and precipitated silica?


Please see as below:
Carbon Black | Precipitated Silica | |
Main Composition | Charcoal | Silicon Dioxide |
Formation Mechanism | Thermal decomposition and agglomeration in a very short time | Slowly formed during settlement and subsequent ripening. |
Physical Surface | Graphite, semicolor state | Amorphous structure |
Surface groups | A small number of different groups | Massive homogeneous distribution (-OH) |
Surface affinity | Hydrophobicity | Hydrophilicity |
The effect of S vulcanization | Negligible | It has a considerable impact on cross-linking. |
Conductance characteristics | Medium conduction | insulator |
