Product Description
When precision matters in your experiments, Carbon black, acetylene, 100% compressed, 99.9%+ purity from eqipped delivers unmatched performance. This ultra-fine carbon black is produced through the controlled combustion of acetylene, resulting in a high-surface-area material perfect for demanding applications. Whether you’re reinforcing rubber compounds, enhancing conductivity in batteries, or developing advanced coatings, this product ensures consistency and reliability.
Researchers and industrial labs trust acetylene-derived carbon black for its exceptional purity and uniformity. Unlike conventional carbon blacks, this variant offers superior dispersion properties, making it ideal for high-performance formulations. The compressed form reduces dusting, improving handling safety while maintaining the material’s reactive surface area.
At eqipped, we understand that lab supplies need to meet rigorous standards. That’s why we source this product from Thermofisher, a leader in scientific materials, ensuring you receive a product that meets global quality benchmarks.

Key Applications
This high-purity acetylene carbon black finds use in multiple scientific and industrial domains:
In rubber manufacturing, it acts as a reinforcing filler, significantly improving tensile strength and abrasion resistance in tires and industrial belts. The fine particle size ensures even distribution throughout the polymer matrix.
For electrical applications, its high conductivity makes it invaluable in producing conductive plastics, antistatic coatings, and battery electrodes. The 99.9% purity level minimizes impurities that could interfere with electrical performance.
Researchers in materials science utilize it for developing carbon nanocomposites and advanced coatings. The material’s high surface area (typically 60-80 m²/g) provides excellent adsorption properties for catalytic applications.
In analytical chemistry, it serves as a standard reference material for carbon content analysis and as a matrix modifier in spectroscopic techniques.
Handling and Storage Recommendations
While acetylene carbon black is generally stable, proper handling ensures longevity and safety:
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. The original packaging provides adequate protection against environmental contamination.
Use standard lab safety equipment—gloves, goggles, and a lab coat—when handling. Though non-toxic, the fine particles may cause respiratory irritation if inhaled in large quantities.
For precise measurements, we recommend using an analytical balance in a draft-free environment, as the powder’s low density can lead to static-related dispersion.
Why This Product Stands Out
Not all carbon blacks are created equal. This acetylene-derived variant offers distinct advantages:
The production process yields a product with higher purity than furnace or channel blacks, making it suitable for sensitive applications.
Its smaller primary particle size (typically 30-50 nm) provides better reinforcement in composites compared to larger-particle alternatives.
The compressed form reduces workplace contamination while maintaining the material’s reactive properties.
With batch-to-batch consistency, you can rely on uniform results in your experiments or production processes.
Safety Information
While generally safe for lab use, please observe these precautions:
Avoid inhaling dust. Use in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood when handling large quantities.
In case of skin contact, wash with soap and water. Eye contact requires immediate flushing with water.
Not classified as hazardous for transport, but follow standard chemical handling protocols.
FAQs
What makes acetylene carbon black different from other carbon blacks?
Acetylene carbon black is produced through the controlled combustion of acetylene gas, resulting in a purer product with smaller, more uniform particles compared to furnace or channel blacks. This makes it ideal for high-performance applications requiring superior conductivity and reinforcement properties.
Can I use this product for battery electrode manufacturing?
Absolutely. The 99.9% purity and high conductivity make this carbon black excellent for lithium-ion battery electrodes and other energy storage applications. Many research labs use it specifically for developing next-generation battery materials.
What’s the typical particle size of this carbon black?
This acetylene carbon black generally has primary particles in the 30-50 nm range, with an aggregate size around 100-200 nm. The high surface area (60-80 m²/g) contributes to its excellent reinforcement and adsorption properties.
How should I dispose of unused carbon black?
Follow your institution’s chemical waste disposal protocols. While not classified as hazardous waste, it’s best practice to collect unused material in sealed containers and dispose of it through approved chemical waste channels.
