Soot-based expansion sweeps Imerys ahead
Imerys Graphite and Carbon inaugurated the expansion of its carbon black plant in Willebrook, Belgium, last week (27/11/14), taking the output to 9,000 tonnes per annum.
The company produces 12 grades of carbon black, mainly for the lithium-ion battery industry and claims it is the "greenest producer in the industry" compared to the mined pitch-based carbons.
