PRODUCT DATA SHEET

STERLING 6630 carbon black

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
STERLING 6630 carbon black was developed for superior performance in
extruded and molded rubber product applications where eliminating surface
defects and minimizing scrap rates are critical.
The surface area and structure of STERLING 6630 carbon black conforms to
ASTM N550 target values. STERLING 6630 carbon black is cleaner than standard
ASTM semi-reinforcing carbon blacks, which results in fewer defects on extruded
rubber surfaces. The improved cleanliness of STERLING 6630 carbon black can
also contribute to a longer screen life (fewer screen changes) and less wear on
extruder barrel, screw and die from abrasion compared to conventional ASTM
carbon black products.
STERLING 6630 carbon black is designed to provide longer scorch time resulting
in improved processing safety. In continuous vulcanization operations, the
increased scorch time with STERLING 6630 carbon black can provide more
consistent and larger cell size for sponge products.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
Higher cleanliness than standard ASTM semi-reinforcing carbon blacks,
which can result in:
oo fewer product surface defects and lower scrap rates,
oo longer extruder screen life or less frequent screen changes,
oo longer die life,
oo less barrel and screw wear,
Good reinforcing in EPDM for consistent high-temperature,
continuous-cure applications
Better tensile strength than ASTM N650 carbon black
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Industrial Rubber Product Applications
oo Seals
oo Weather stripping
oo Hoses
oo Belts
oo Extruded profiles
oo Mounts and bushings

TECHNICAL DATA
1) STERLING 6630 carbon black exhibits rubber reinforcement and processing properties similar to those of ASTM N550
carbon black, but imparts fewer visible imperfections on the surfaces of extruded rubber parts.
Test formulation: 100 EPDM, 75 Paraffinic Oil, 20 phr Whiting, Sulphur cure vulcanization system

2) Screen Pack Pressure Rise in an EPDM test compound (100 phr carbon black)
In an extrusion through a 325 mesh (45 micron) screen pack at 100C and a rate
of 50 gram/minute, STERLING 6630 carbon black shows a lower rate of pressure
rise than two competitive ASTM N550 carbon black products.
