PROPEL® E3

PROPEL® E3 by Cabot is a very high structure reinforcing carbon black with a medium surface area. It is easy to disperse because of fast incorporation and excellent dispersion. It is suitable for tire treads where hysteresis needs to be reduced while tread wear needs to be kept at a good level. It demonstrates a level of reinforcement similar to compounds made with ASTM N375, N339 and N347 type carbon blacks and shows a considerable reduction in hysteresis. It offers low hysteresis and high stiffness, which permits a lower silica blend ratio and has a positive impact on compound mixing, processing and tread wear. PROPEL® E3 finds application in treads of medium and heavy commercial vehicles, light commercial, SUVs and passenger cars that contains silica as well as in sidewall and under-tread.
