ELFTEX^® P100 is the latest Cabot P-type black for pressure pipe applications. It complements the existing grade ELFTEX TP. These two blacks are our response to the increasing need for a differentiated product range for pressure pipe applications. Each of these grades is specifically designed to meet a particular performance balance in terms of the five key performance criteria important to the pressure pipe compounds:

• Particle Size (see also "UV Weathering and Related Test Method" brochure)
• Compound Moisture Absorption
• Sulfur Impurities
• Microscopic Dispersion (see also "Microscopic Dispersion Test for High Performance Pressure Pipes" brochure)
• Carbon Black Dispersability

To help you understand the performance of these products, we have developed an animated product selector. Performance improves from chart center. Click on the grades to compare them.
