Amorphous Carbons (C)

Amorphous carbons include Carbon Black, Furnace Black, and Channel Black. They are black pigments produced by the thermal decomposition of natural hydrocarbons. These are free and reactive carbons with no crystalline structure. Reade offers furnace black.

Nominal purity= 98.5 to 99.6%

Available in bead, ground, and powder form with particle sizes ranging from 16 to 280 nanometers.
Typical Applications

Amorphous carbons are essential fillers in the rubber industry and next to titanium dioxide, the most important pigment used in printing inks, toners, single-ply roofing, inks, paints, and plastics. They are also used as the starting material for organic semiconductors in solar cells, bio/pharma, and perovskites. Carbon black is used in reinforcing automobile tires by conducting heat away from the tread and belt area of the tire, reducing thermal damage and increasing tire life and in some radar absorbent materials.

Packaging Options

Multi-ply bags and drums

Sustainable Qualities

Amorphous Carbon is a versatile material derived from renewable resources, making it a sustainable and bio-based option for a range of applications. It is produced through the Carbonization of biomass, such as wood, plant fibers, or waste materials like food scraps or sawdust. This process converts the Carbon in the biomass into a solid form, resulting in a high surface area, highly porous material ideal for various applications.

One of the significant benefits of Amorphous Carbon is its ability to contribute to the circular economy. It can be recycled and repurposed, reducing the amount of waste produced and minimizing the need for virgin materials. Its high surface area and porosity also make it useful for water treatment and air filtration applications, where it can remove pollutants and contaminants from the environment. Overall, Amorphous Carbon is a sustainable, bio-based material that can contribute to a circular economy by reducing waste and improving the environmental impact of various industries.

View Open Cell Metal Foam
Open Cell Metal Foam
Open cell metal foam, also known as reticulated foam, features 100% open cells with a homogenous structure. The open cells provide a path through the foam in any direction, allowing gas and liquids to pass at control flow rates and buffer pressure. Open foams have high surface area-to-volume ratios which offer large heat transfer rates. They are lightweight, with high compressive strength, stiffness, energy absorption, and low specific weight. Specific properties and applications vary based on foam material. The most popular open-cell metal foam products are Aluminum and RVC foam.
View Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are tubes made of carbon atoms with nanometer diameters. Reade supplies a variety of carbon nanotubes. While many specific properties of CNTs are type dependent, in general, carbon nanotubes have high electrical conductivity. They have good thermal conductivity along the tube axis that is comparable to diamonds while exhibiting elastic, flexible, stiff, tough, and strong fibers while maintaining the chemistry of carbon molecules and being free of molecular defects. This carbon chemistry allows strong Van der Waals attraction which leads to spontaneous self-assembly and roping of many nanotubes, which may be important in certain applications. Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) are an intermediary allotrope of carbon between fullerene cages and flat graphene. Double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWNT) are similar to SWNT but are more resistant to chemical attacks. Multi-wall carbon nanotubes consist of multiple rolled layers of graphene. Dry powder form and dispersions available.

Aluminum Metal Foam
Aluminum metal foam is a fully customizable rigid, opened pore three-dimensional network of interconnected solid aluminum ligaments. The aluminum foam has a high strength-to-weight ratio, strong compression strength, and a high surface area per unit volume.
View Hemp Fiber
Hemp Fiber
Hemp Fiber (Bast Fiber) is a high-yield commercial fiber crop that grows from seed. Hemp stalks are harvested for their fibers and grow on the outside of the plant’s stalk, similar to the bark of a tree. Hemp fibers are advantageous as they are flexible, have low density and abrasiveness, and have mechanical properties comparable to glass fiber. There is also quantitative and qualitative homogeneity from one harvest to the next. Degummed Hemp Fiber is processed to remove lignin and pectin, so separated fibers are finer, softer, and more absorbent. Size ranges from ½ inch to 5 inches. Hemp Hurd is derived from the core of the hemp stalks and is also referred to as hemp shives. It looks similar to wood chips. It is porous and absorbent and naturally resistant to mold and bacteria. Raw Long Hemp Fiber is right from the stalk, non-processed, and uncombed with slight separation of fibers. Fibers range from 24 to 72 inches. Combed Hemp Fiber, also known as plumber's hemp, is untwisted and combed. Fiber length ranges from 4-5 inches long.
