Orion Engineered Carbons First To Launch Renewable Carbon Black To The Tire Industry: ECORAX® Nature

This new family of products pioneers the use of renewable carbon black for the demanding requirements of tire treads.

Orion Engineered Carbons S.A. (NYSE: OEC), a leading global supplier of specialty and high-performance carbon black, today announced the commercial launch of ECORAX® Nature, a new family of products developed for rubber applications utilizing industrial grade, plant-based oils; a renewable, non-fossil derived feedstock. ECORAX® Nature 100 is the first highly reinforcing carbon black grade made from renewable feedstocks which can be used in critical tire tread construction. The product is currently being tested by customers and will go into high volume manufacturing in the second half of 2022.

“This launch is an important milestone in our strategy to develop commercially viable, carbon black products that drive sustainability across the value chain,” said Corning Painter, chief executive officer, Orion Engineered Carbons. “This strategy, combined with our footprint, ability to innovate, and deep customer relationships makes Orion the right partner for a sustainable future.”

By exclusively using plant-based oils, ECORAX® Nature is a pathway to lowering the net CO2 emissions within the tire industry supply chain.
