AROSPERSE® 3 is a medium color specialty carbon black that provides good dispersibility with medium to long term UV protection. Its low sieve residue and low ash levels results in good extrudability and low screen pressure build up. Uses include high pressure plastic pipe, geomembrane, geogrid and wire and cable jacketing.
