Charakterisierung

The choice of process carbon is crucial

There are numerous raw materials and production processes for manufacturing a carbon concentrate/process carbon. We maintain an overview and recommend the optimum product for your application depending on the area of application, availability and market situation.

Frequently asked questions

So-called carbon concentrates are generally used as carburizing agents. These can be produced on the basis of various raw materials and using various production processes. The resulting number of possible carburizing agents is so numerous that we can make a selection/recommendation specifically for the customer’s process.

Numerous projects for the decarbonization of industry are working towards the reduction of fossil carbon carriers in industrial processes. The production process is often not possible without the introduction of carbon. Accordingly, the use of high-quality process carbons in industrial production processes will play an increasingly important role in the course of decarbonization.

Together with the industry, we at LSR Materials have developed process carbons that are not based on fossil raw materials but still have the functional properties of a carbon concentrate. Just get in touch with us.
