Description
Vulcan XC72 Conductive Carbon Black
Purity: High Purity | Particle Size: ~30 nm | Surface Area: 254 m²/g | Structure: Amorphous/Graphitic
Vulcan XC72 is a highly conductive carbon black engineered to deliver excellent electrical performance at low loading levels. Its fine particle size and large surface area ensure high conductivity, while its structural purity and low ionic contamination make it suitable for a wide range of electrochemical and industrial applications. Known for its superior dispersibility compared to other conductive grades, Vulcan XC72 also offers deep black color (jetness) for aesthetic value in coatings and polymer systems.
