ABOUT US OUR PRODUCT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE LEGAL NEWS CONTACT Investors Career Handling of Carbon Black It is of key importance to us to ensure the safe, cost-effective and efficient transportation of our products, while caring for the environment and complying with regulations. Transportation We know that transportation can be volatile. We work hand in hand with shippers and carriers globally to understand our customers' challenges and develop easy-to-use, sustainable and scalable solutions. We offer our customers a broad portfolio of transportation modes: Sea/Ocean Freight – Suitable for a wide range of our products with long lead time and extensive coverage around the world. Rail – Offering reliable transit times and schedules as well as helping to alleviate road congestion, thus lowering emissions. Road – Allowing quick and scheduled delivery even in rural areas with very flexible services. Intermodal – Allowing cargo to be moved worldwide with multiple modes of transport. Handling Carbon black is primarily marketed in the form of powder and beads. How it is handled differs substantially depending on the form of the product. Carbon black is mainly delivered in bulk trucks, semi-bulk containers and bags. Bulk trucks and semi-bulk containers are predominantly used for beaded material, which gets transferred from the silo directly into the truck and can be easily delivered to the customer. It is very suitable for large volume processing, saves packaging material and allows the material to be integrated quickly and directly into the production process. Depending on the grade, powder carbon black and some beaded carbon black can be fluidized pneumatically. This makes it possible to transport the carbon black in large quantities through a plant using high air volumes. Due to its low bulk density and relatively poor flow characteristics, powder carbon black is usually not shipped in rigid vessels or silos, but rather packaged in bags or flexible intermediate bulk containers. Beaded carbon black is much easier to handle due to significantly better flow and conveying properties.
