Carbon black is a form of paracrystalline carbon that has a high surface-area-to-volume ratio. IARC’s listing of carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen is based on laboratory rat studies only; studies on carbon black production workers have not shown a link between carbon black exposure and cancer. Consumer exposure to carbon black is negligible.

CARBON FIBER FIBERS PROCESSES PRODUCTS Molecular Structure Chemical Name Carbon, Graphite. The precursor undergoes several processes including carbonization and oxidation which produces high tensile & modulus carbon fiber filaments. Carbon fiber can also be produced from other carbon-rich precursors such as Pitch & Rayon.

Homepage // News Center // New Edgetek™ and LubriOne™ PKE Materials from Avient Replace Nylon and Acetal, Reduce Carbon Footprint The new materials also offer sustainability benefits over the product lifecycle through carbon footprint reductions compared to competitive materials - PK base resin production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon and POM.

Homepage // News Center // Carbon Fiber Underbody Braces Make Corvette Driving Experience Even More Exhilarating The Glasforms business unit formulated a carbon-fiber-reinforced composite material for the C7 Corvette Z06 and non-Z06 underbody braces. The carbon fiber-reinforced composite part was 17% lighter than the stock aluminum part, and the composite held up well in GM's extensive vibration, shake and road test regimen.
