VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 17, 2023 / Klean Industries Inc ('Klean') is pleased to announce that ASTM International's Committee D36 for Recovered Carbon Black ('rCB') has approved a new standard for rCB that is a product derived from end-of-life tire pyrolysis recycling technologies. This new standard provides a testing standard that will help differentiate products and provide quality control tools for recovered carbon black producers, tyre pyrolysis operators, and end users. The new ASTM standard and published as D8474 describes a technique known as thermogravimetric ('TGA') that is used to determine the amounts of organic residue, overall fixed carbon content, and ash content in recovered carbon black.
As recently published on the ASTM website, Pieter ter Haar from Cictec and ASTM member says, 'The new standard will be a useful tool specifically for quality control and can be used for off-take agreements, technical data sheets, and certificates of analysis. This will be most useful for manufacturers, as well as users and consumers. This standard will improve the adoption of rCB. Recovered carbon black can complement or substitute conventional carbon black in many applications, including the production of new, more sustainable tires.
Alongside Mr. Pieter ter Haar and many other contributing members, both Jesse Klinkhamer, CEO of Klean, and Dr. Martin Loffler, Head of Tire Pyrolysis Engineering for Klean are contributing members of the Technical Committee for D36 recovered carbon black which is setting the global standards for quality and safety of rCB for the global marketplace.
Industry experts and business leaders believe the D36 Standard that classifies recovered carbon black is a step in the right direction.
