China's largest carbon-black producer, supplying reinforcing filler for tires and industrial rubber products.
Sells carbon black mostly to tire makers, priced off its main raw material, a heavy oil, so margins depend on the gap between the two rather than on volume alone. Tire-grade carries the volume, while higher-priced specialty grades are a smaller line.
In one line: A Chinese Cabot Corporation (carbon black).
Moat: narrow (scale, cost advantage). Largest domestic carbon-black scale gives feedstock and cost advantages over smaller mills.
