To reach net-zero carbon emissions targets of OEMs, all players within the coatings value chain must contribute! Leading the way in the industry, Birla Carbon has achieved circularity at scale with the launch of Continua™ - a sustainable carbonaceous material (SCM). This highly engineered SCM solution meets the market needs for both high quality and large quantities of a circular black pigment solution.

Watch this webinar to learn how, by partnering together, Birla Carbon and its customers can enhance sustainability along the coatings value chain.

Such partnerships will help our industry to overcome the negative perception of coatings and their ability to contribute to a more circular economy. Hear from the carbon black experts on the key environmental and performances attributes of the new Continua™ 8510P SCM.

Comparative data for Continua™ 8510P SCM versus traditional Raven carbon black will be presented in different coating systems, where the coloristic response, rheological performance and pigment stability will be discussed.
