CARBON BLACKS USEFUL IN WIRE AND CABLE COMPOUNDS

摘要

Novel carbon blacks are described wherein the carbon blacks have a nitrogen surface area of from about 65 to about 95 m2/g; an Iodine number without additive of from about 64 to about 120 mg/g; a tinting strength of about 90 % or less; and a particle size of from about 22 nm to about 39 nm. Polymeric compositions containing at least one polymer and the carbon blacks of the present invention are further described as well as preferred polymeric compositions, such as wire and cable compounds containing the carbon blacks of the present invention in such uses as shielding compositions. Electrical conductors containing one or more layers which contain the carbon blacks of the present invention are further described as well as improved properties using the carbon blacks of the present invention.
