BINDER PITCH WITH MODIFIED FILTRABILITY AND ITS PREPARATION

摘要

This binder pitch, which has a KS softening point of between 60 DEG C and 80 DEG C and a content of quinoline-insoluble substances lower than or equal to 7% by weight, is characterised in that its filterability index is higher than or equal to 4.5. To prepare it, a tar or a pitch which has a KS softening point of not more than 60 DEG C and a content of quinoline-insoluble substances lower than or equal to 7% by weight is subjected to a heat treatment capable of removing a substantial proportion of its constituents with a molecular mass lower than 1200.
