Carbon Black.
Select high specific surface area carbon black for low wear level and high structure carbon black for high wear level.
Use nano-structured, low hysteresis carbon blacks.
Long chain carbon blacks with high structure improve wear resistance. Different types of carbon blacks should not be used together.
Silica:Use with silane coupling agent to improve abrasion resistance.
Aramid fibres:Add a small amount of aramid fibres to the compound to improve abrasion resistance.
