Semi-conductive carbon black compounds are used in the manufacture of underground power cables. The semicon compound functions as a shield to smooth out any sharp edges on the conductor surface and eliminates any electrical field stresses by homogenizing the electrical field around the conductor.
Our range of XC-type conductive blacks has been developed to help semi-conductive compound formulators achieve long cable life.
