Carbon Black World 2008NotesCarbon Black World 2008 is set for November 3 - 5, 2008 in Vancouver, BC Canada. This 10th edition international conference will serve as a forum for all stakeholders in the carbon black world to receive updates on market trends, new technologies, regulatory issues and new end user markets.DescriptionConference Co-Chair:Paul Ita, Consultant, Notch Consulting GroupAs one of the most important industrial chemicals in the world, carbon black represents an $8.8 billion global market. In terms of projected growth, the demand for carbon black is forecast to rise 4.2% per year though 2011 to eleven million metric tons with the major applications in rubber, plastics, coatings, inks (including inkjet), toners and chromatography columns. As a reinforcing tiller for rubber, the material offers functional properties including improved fracture behavior, abrasion resistance and tear strength. However, on the horizon for all carbon black producers is the threat of the "green tire" and the encroachment of precipitated silica and potentially starch and other fillers on the market. Spawned principally by this threat, work on analyzing and modifying the surface and structure of carbon black has led to greater understanding and technical advances for the black pigment leading to the challenge for all carbon black manufacturers- profitability.IntertechPira's Carbon Black World 2008 will address these issues, challenges and advances by providing carbon black users, feedstock suppliers, and providers of support equipment a comprehensive examination of the global carbon black industry. Attendees will receive a balanced view of where carbon black is heading and where new business opportunities are developing as well as a briefing on market trends by region and sector, new technologies, international regulatory issues and technical trends in major markets.
