It is obtained from used tyres. In the recycling process at Schwalbe’s partner Pyrum Innovations; the tyres are mechanically processed (shredded) and then recycled in a thermochemical process known as pyrolysis. The carbon black acts as a filler and reinforcing agent in the rubber compound. It influences the dynamic properties of the tyre (abrasion; rolling resistance; wet grip) and is used for colouring.
