An Introduction into the Fundamentals of Thermoplastics
A brief introduction into the world of thermoplastics and the additives that can be used to adjust and specialise them.
Emerald rCB from Waverly Carbon is designed to replace virgin carbon black derived from petroleum-based feedstocks. Using char obtained by the pyrolysis of end-of-life tyres, Emerald rCB (recovered Carbon Black) is an environmentally responsible alternative that is delivered with the highest quality, consistency, and full traceability.
Emerald rCB is used predominantly as a rubber reinforcing agent and as a black pigment in plastics. However, it can also be suitable for coating applications and as a pigment in adhesives and sealants. Emerald rCB is available in both powder and pelletised ("pearl") forms.
Owing to the unique production process of Emerald rCB, the material contains significantly lower concentrations of harmful PAH molecules (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) compared to virgin carbon black.

Markets embracing sustainability are popular among consumers, but with widespread greenwashing, what does it mean to be sustainable and what "eco-credentials" should you look for? Here, we explore this question in relation to the packaging Inks industry.
Recovered Carbon Black utilised end-of-life tyres to replace the need for virgin carbon black.
Thermoplastics are fantastic engineering materials. They are low cost, lightweight, easy to process and provide excellent durability. It’s no surprise therefore that thermoplastics are omnipresent in our lives, with the average European citizen consuming on average 50 kg per year. High time then to scrutinise thermoplastics from a sustainability standpoint.
