The International Carbon Black Association

The International Carbon Black Association (ICBA) is an organization that represents the global carbon black industry. Carbon black is a material produced from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons, primarily used as a reinforcing agent in rubber products like tires, as well as in plastics, inks, and coatings. The ICBA promotes the interests of its members, shares technical and scientific information, and advocates for sustainable practices within the industry. The association also works to enhance the understanding of carbon black and its benefits, addressing environmental and health safety concerns related to its production and use.
