Bio-Carbon Black

Same lattice. No petroleum.

Carbon black sits inside every tyre, every ink, every electrode, every coating — and virtually all of it is still made from fossil feedstock. We're engineering the biogenic equivalent from agricultural residue, validated in joint R&D for performance parity with the material it replaces.

The Substitution

A category still entirely fossil.

Biogenic penetration today is near zero — every tyre, ink and coating on the market is still carrying fossil carbon. The bar for substitution is parity, and that is what we validate. Whoever proves parity first defines the category.

Applications

One material, four industries.

Carbon black is a functional ingredient — each application buys a different property. Our R&D validates each one against the fossil benchmark it has to match.

01

Tyres

Strength and reinforcement — the structural filler that gives tread and sidewall compounds their wear resistance and durability.

Reinforcement
02

Inks

Pigment and colour — deep, stable black for industrial printing, where tinting strength and dispersion define the grade.

Pigmentation
03

Electrodes

Conductivity — a conductive filler for battery and industrial electrode systems, where electrical performance is the specification.

Conductivity
04

Paints & Coatings

Reinforcing filler and black pigment for industrial-grade coatings and protective finishes.

Pigment & Filler
The Material

Engineered at the molecular level.

Bio-carbon black is built from a graphitic carbon lattice — the same structural family that gives fossil-derived carbon black its reinforcing and conductive properties. Sourced from agricultural residue instead of petroleum, engineered for the same performance envelope. Every batch is characterised at the material level before it reaches a partner's production line.

How To Start

Four steps from your spec to supply.

You commit at step four, once the material has cleared the benchmark you set at step one.

01

Your spec

Grade, benchmark, target formulation.

02

Lab bench

Parity testing on reinforcement, pigmentation or conductivity.

03

Pilot line

Trial in your compound, measured against your fossil benchmark.

04

Supply

Clear the benchmark and we move from validated trial to contracted volume.

FAQ

Straight answers.

A carbon black material engineered from agricultural residue rather than fossil feedstock — chemically and structurally designed to substitute directly into existing industrial processes.

Early-stage R&D is validating performance parity across conductivity, reinforcement and pigmentation — full commercial specifications are confirmed jointly with partners during validation.

Biochar-derived carbon black can substitute for fossil carbon black where it matches the grade on reinforcement, dispersion and cure behaviour. The known objection to biochar in rubber is inconsistency — variable feedstock produces variable surface structure. That is a supply-chain problem before it is a materials problem, which is why every batch here is traced to plot and characterised before it reaches a compounder.

Recovered carbon black is reclaimed from end-of-life tyres by pyrolysis, so its supply is tied to tyre waste and its properties to whatever went into those tyres. Biogenic carbon black is made from agricultural residue, so the feedstock is annually renewable and the carbon is biogenic rather than recirculated fossil carbon. Both displace virgin fossil carbon black; they differ in where the carbon comes from and how the supply scales.
