Our colleague Hauke Westenberg has published an article in Rubber World Magazine.? He focuses on the improvement of surface-modified carbon black with novel additives such as aminophenyl disulfides (APDS).? What does this mean for the consumer? The combination may enable lower rolling resistance and higher mileage for truck tires. Find the link in the comments below and look on page 38 for his article.??

Tilo Lindler shares how Orion is making carbon black even more sustainable by using circular and bio-circular feedstocks.? ? Orion will be introducing ECOLAR 50 made with bio-circular feedstocks at this year’s European Coatings Show. ? ? Come see us at booth 3C-447 from March 25-27.?

Orion has been recognized by the European Commission’s “Innovation Radar” website as a Key Innovator. The website identifies high-potential innovators that have done EU-funded research. Orion was highlighted for being the first company to produce circular carbon black from 100% pyrolysis oil from end-of-life tires. “Driving circularity is part of Orion’s long-term strategy,” Orion CEO Corning Painter said. “Our customers are increasingly relying on us to provide solutions to meet the growing demand for circular products. We are scaling up our capabilities to process tire pyrolysis oil and have other innovations in our sustainability pipeline focused on cost-effective solutions.”?

Scientists studying ink formulations in Medieval manuscripts are identifying carbon black pigments. It’s interesting but not surprising, considering carbon black is one of the oldest and most essential materials used throughout human history.? The scientists are studying the pigments with secondary ion mass spectrometry, a powerful tool that can identify inks from traces of pigments and tiny scanned areas.? Read more about it in the article by The Royal Society. We’ve put the link in the comments below:

One year after the launch of the #AntwerpDeclaration, 400 business leaders, industry and worker representatives from across Europe met in Antwerp to discuss the just-published #CleanIndustrialDeal with Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The message is clear: #DelivertheDeal To restore Europe’s prosperity, we need urgent action to: ? Restore the business case for investments in Europe ? Implement the EU Green Deal ? Safeguard high-quality jobs New EU policies must be assessed against a simple test: ? Do they attract investment to Europe? ? Do they keep Europe safe & independent? Do they lower energy costs? ? Do they create markets for sustainable products? Do they secure quality jobs? If the answer is no, it’s time to rethink. Europe’s industries are ready to do their part—now it’s time for EU leaders to act.
