Why Iran is Becoming a Preferred Supplier of Carbon Black
Carbon black is a critical material used in the production of tires, rubber parts, plastics, coatings, and industrial products worldwide. While many countries produce it, Iran is rapidly emerging as a reliable and competitive source of carbon black, with a combination of advantages that few markets can match.
At SIMONTCO, we specialize in connecting global industries with premium carbon black grades from top Iranian manufacturers. This article explores why Iran’s carbon black industry deserves your attention — and why partnering with SIMONTCO gives you an edge.
1️⃣ Abundant Raw Materials & Competitive Pricing
Iran is home to one of the largest reserves of oil and gas in the world. This natural advantage allows carbon black producers in Iran to access high-quality feedstock — especially heavy aromatic oils (HAOs) from local refineries and petrochemical complexes.
✅ This results in:
- Consistent carbon black structure and purity
- Lower production costs
- Stable pricing compared to other regions like Europe, India, or China
Common grades exported by Iranian producers include:
- N330 – High abrasion resistance for tire treads
- N220 – Extra reinforcement
- N660 – Flexible, used in rubber hoses and belts
2️⃣ Strategic Geographic Location
Iran’s geographic position is ideal for global logistics. It offers short transit times and lower freight costs to:
- GCC countries
- South Asia (India, Pakistan)
- Europe via Turkey or the Caucasus
- CIS countries (Central Asia)
- China via land and sea
Export operations are mainly conducted through Bandar Abbas and other Persian Gulf ports, supported by customs-experienced freight forwarders.
3️⃣ Reliable Production from Modern Facilities
Iranian carbon black plants are equipped with modern reactors and quality control systems, producing material that meets ASTM D1765 standards.
Many of these factories operate with:
- ISO 9001 / 14001
- REACH-compliant processes
- QC labs testing for iodine value, DBP, ash, and particle size
While Iranian companies cannot register directly for REACH due to sanctions, SIMONTCO offers a trusted Only Representative (OR) service to cover this gap for European buyers.
