Specializing in Carbon Black for the past 25years.
GEDOCHEM SOLUTIONS
Gedochemâs exacting standards control and maintain particle and aggregate size properties, surface activity and physical form. This produces grades that meet internationally recognized ASTM specifications, and high-performance rubber and specialty grades to meet specific market requirements across industries that depend upon precise carbon black formulations.
The versatility of carbon black is evident in its use throughout an automobile. Key to the manufacture and performance of tires â the largest application for carbon black â it is also used in everything from the engine compartment to interior components to exterior coatings.
what we offer
WE SUPPLY CARBON BLACK
Carbon black has a wide range of uses across an array of applications in three markets â specialty, mechanical rubber goods and tires. It is vital to rubber products for reinforcement. In the specialty market, carbon black also plays an important role as a black pigment to impart jetness in inks and coatings as well as blackness, UV protection and conductivity in plastics.

Special Applications
LONGER LASTING TIRES
Carbon black plays a key role in improving properties important to tire manufacturing and tire performance. Our complete line of high-quality ASTM-grade carbon blacks for tire producers deliver increased durability and reinforcement for added product life.
Our technology services teams are focused on developing new grades of carbon black for further improvements in treadwear and reducing heat buildup in the tread and non-tread components. These improvements can reduce CO2Â emissions, also improving fuel economy and tire life. The result is more environmentally friendly products for sustainable transportation and a cleaner planet.
MECHANICAL RUBBER GOODS
Our range of high-quality carbon blacks can enable the mechanical rubber goods manufacturers to reach their customerâs requirements for excellence in surface finish appearance and product durability. Rubber applications include sealing systems, belts and hoses, bellows and diaphragms, injection molded parts using thermoplastic elastomers, as well as anti-vibration components, among numerous other rubber goods.
Coating Systems
Nuances, variety and variance succeed only by the use of different blacks. We generate more than 280 Specialty Carbon Black grades using five manufacturing processes plus after treatments.
Coatings is all about color perception with multivariable requirements depending on industry, application and end use of manufactured goods. Among the color perception of coatings, Carbon Black generates properties for both conductive- and non-conductive- coatings. Any paint pigmented with Carbon Black has enhanced UV-stability and thus prolongs life time of a coating.
Among many other application fields, including liquid as well as powder coatings, Carbon Black is of highest importance for the following coating industry areas:
- Automotive Coatings
- Industrial Coatings
- Decorative Paints
Polymers
Carbon Black is used in polymers for various reasons. Its most important effects are recorded in its coloristic properties ranging from high jet black to color matching purpose, UV-protection and electrical conductivity. Also, the reinforcing power and the ability to change the rheological properties of the final product are advantages of Carbon Black in elastomers and adhesive & sealants. Orion constantly stay tuned to the customersâ needs to provide them with a solution that matches perfectly their requirements following our core value of collaborative partnerships for any business action.
Printing Systems
Speciality Carbon Blacks are the most widely used pigment for making black printing inks. In comparison to other coloring and tinting materials, Carbon Black provides high efficiency in combination with excellent fastness against light, temperature and various chemical substances.
When talking about products for Printing Systems we cover the full range of printing applications from high volume offset printing inks, to flexo and gravure inks and inkjet, toner and other speciality ink applications. We can test and share experience to find the most suitable product for various printing substrates and a wide range of binder systems from oil based, solvent based to water based and UV curing ink systems. Our customers has the possibility to chose from a product range mainly differentiating by key parameters such as surface area, aggregate structure and surface chemistry. We enable producing high quality printing inks with excellent fit to the final application in regards to optical density, hiding powder, gloss, holdout, rheological properties and storage stability.
Special Applications
Special Applications subsumes a wide range of applications, where Carbon Blacks does a service, which goes beyond rheological and colorimetric effects. These areas of application cover batteries, metal casting, agriculture, construction, the paper industry and many others.
Transportation
