"The price of conductive carbon black is tens to tens of times that of ordinary carbon black. With overcapacity and poor profitability of ordinary carbon black, conductive carbon black, which has more price and market advantages, is becoming an important driving force for leading enterprises in the industry.".
In August 2021, SDLK Carbon Materials Technology Group, a leading manufacturer of conductive carbon black in China, announced that the company will build a new project of 100000 tons of nano carbon materials for high-voltage cable shielding materials annually, with the product of conductive carbon black for high-voltage cable shielding materials. The production base has achieved commercial production.
In 2023, the TB3 conductive carbon black upgrading and transformation project of Cabot High Performance Battery Materials (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. commenced in the Modern Industrial Zone of Tianjin Economic Development Zone. The project will produce high-performance conductive carbon black, mainly used for power batteries and energy storage batteries, with an annual production capacity of 15000 tons
SXYD has introduced conductive carbon black products since 2008, mainly used as shielding materials for power cables, achieving import substitution to a certain extent. The company currently has a production capacity of 40000 tons/year of conductive carbon black, and plans to add 8000 tons/year of production capacity. At the same time, it has entered the new energy field, arranged lithium electric grade conductive carbon black, and completed downstream sample delivery testing.
JXHM will build a new "50000 tons/year superconducting carbon black project" with a total investment of 421 million yuan, which will be constructed in three phases, including the first phase, which will build a capacity of 20,000 tons/year superconducting carbon black; The second phase is to build a production capacity of 20,000 tons of superconducting carbon black annually; The third phase is to build a production capacity of 10,000 tons of superconducting carbon black annually.
