FDA approved low PAH thermal carbon black to meet regulatory requirements
Thermax N990CG can be used to reduce the PAH content of compounds without sacrificing performance.
Regulatory requirements targeted at polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) content in consumer rubber goods are becoming increasingly common. Developments in the formulations and raw materials used can help minimize the PAH content as needed to meet these requirements. Testing was completed comparing thermal carbon black Thermax N990 to Cancarb’s FDA approved, low PAH Thermax N990CG in a wide range of rubber compounds.
