Will be Chinese offtake news soon I think
Laboratory scale samples of both CBS products have been tested by a major manufacturer and supplier of automotive rubber products to the Chinese car industry. The results of those tests were successful and identified that both products can be substituted for carbon black at varying levels up to 25%, saving not only the cost of the substituted carbon black but also eliminating the need for further addition of white carbon (silica also used as a filler in making rubber), and reducing consumption of naphthenic oil. The potential savings to the customer from use of the Company's CBS products is, therefore, significant in comparison to current rubber manufacturing formulations.
A 20 tonne sample of the new CBS product is being sent to the potential Chinese customer for industrial scale testing, following which, offtake discussions are likely to result.
