Akzo Nobel has a leading position in the electroconductive carbon black market through our joint venture Ketjenblack International Corporation (KBIC). KBIC has been supplying electroconductive carbons through Akzo Nobel since the mid 1980's.

Ketjenblack® EC products are electroconductive carbon blacks of very high purity. Due to their unique morphology in comparison to conventional carbon blacks, substantially lower amounts of Ketjenblack EC-300J, and even lesser amounts of Ketjenblack EC-600JD, are required for making plastics and elastomers conductive. This results in improved processing and mechanical properties of the finished electroconductive articles.
