  • Applications

    Carbon (CAS 97793-37-8) is used across multiple industries as a versatile elemental material: activated carbon serves as an effective adsorbent for water and air purification; carbon black functions as a pigment, reinforcing filler, and conductive additive in polymers, coatings, inks, and tires; graphite and carbon fibers provide mechanical reinforcement and electrical/thermal conductivity in composites and energy storage devices, including electrodes for lithium-ion batteries; carbon-based lubricants and solid lubricants are used in high-temperature or high-load applications; carbon supports serve as catalyst supports in chemical processing and refining.
