Global Market Problem
The Black Pearl Solution
Standard Testing Isn’t Enough
Most rCBs pass lab tests but fail in-rubber performance.
High-Performance Compatibility
Black Pearl focuses on in-rubber testing aligned with ASTM D36/D24 standards to ensure practical performance in real world applications.
Limited Substitution
Typical rCBs degrade rubber above 10–20% use.
Real-World Validation
Pearl Carbon achieves over 50% N550 substitution and up to 100% N660 substitution with no loss of strength or elasticity, as proven by multiple global tire manufacturers.
Narrow Application Scope
Conventional rCB fits only low-grade rubber.
Premium-Grade Versatility
We use a formula of specially selected additives developed through years of R&D that adjust rCB behavior in rubber compounds to meet specific in‑rubber requirements. Our process and additives make rCB suitable for new passenger tires and high-performance applications.
Formulation Resistance
Tire makers are hesitant when it comes to changing existing compounds for tires and cannot drastically change factory manufacturing lines.
True Drop-In Replacement
Pearl Carbon can be seamlessly adopted through simple refinements in the existing factory infrastructure and without tire formula changes. Therefore, our technology creates a predictable, scalable system for various manufacturers while shortening customer validation time and increasing the achievable substitution share of vCB.
High Cost and Carbon Footprint
Virgin carbon black is expensive and resource-heavy.
Lower Cost and Reduced Emissions
Our rCB reduces both raw material costs and total CO2 footprint by reducing dependence on virgin carbon in the manufacturing process.
Technology Replication Risk
Many pyrolysis methods can be copied easily.
Protected Innovation
The exact formulation is maintained as a trade secret and Black Pearl’s process is secured by patents and proprietary know-how.
