Specialty Carbon
Coal tar is a black coloured, vicious liquid which is obtained from recovery-type coke ovens during coking of coal to produce metallurgical coke.
At Epsilon Carbon, with our state-of-the-art continuous multistage distillation plant, we distil and refine coal tar into a broad range of high-quality products. Almost half of the composition of coal tar is coal tar pitch, which is further processed at different process conditions to obtain various grades of coal tar pitch like binder pitch and impregnation pitch that caters to the aluminium and graphite industries.
For impregnation pitch, we have installed a continuous impregnation pitch manufacturing plant, the first of its kind in India. Apart from pitch, the remaining products from coal tar are naphthalene, phenol oil, wash oil, and anthracene oil, which find application in a wide range of chemicals and industries like dyes intermediates, pigments, pharmaceuticals, wood coating, resins etc.

Impregnated Pitch is a special type of pitch which is black solid material at room temperature. It is derived from the processing of coal tar with a low softening point and low QI content compared to Binder Grade pitch. Impregnating Pitch is used to ‘impregnate’ graphite electrodes which decreases its porosity with increase in electrical conductivity & durability. Processing is done using the latest technology and under strict quality control processes resulting following properties: Low volatile content, High fixed carbon, Low Ash Content, No Mesophase, Good Wettability, Good Thermal Stability during storage.
Product Datasheet
Derived from processing coal tar, Binder Pitch consists of a complex mixture of predominantly aromatic hydrocarbons. A black solid compound at room temperature, Binder Pitch is primarily used to manufacture pre-baked and Soderberg anodes in the aluminium industry. These anodes are used in the electrolysis process of extracting aluminium from alumina. It is also used to manufacture electrodes in the graphite industry. Coal Tar Pitch constitutes around 30 - 40 per cent of graphite electrodes by volume. These electrodes are used in the production of aluminium and steel.
Product Datasheet
Different fractions of oils are produced during coal tar distillation, at temperatures ranging between 180 C – 350 C. Carbon Black oil is a blend of a heavier fraction of oil and soft pitch. The carbon black oil is the basic raw material for the manufacture of carbon black, which is then used in the rubber and tyre industries. Carbon Black Oil is used as feedstock by manufacturers of carbon black, who prefer its higher B.M.C.I and low sulphur to that of imported feedstock.
Product Datasheet
Anthracene oil has a very good carbon index and is used in manufacturing carbon black. Anthracene is also used in the manufacturing of carbazole and pure anthracene. Carbazole is used in the manufacturing of dyes and pigments, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals drugs such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory medicines etc. Pure anthracene is used in the manufacturing of anthraquinone, which is used dyes and pigments.
Naphthalene is used as a precursor in various chemicals likes beta naphthol, alpha naphthol, H Acid etc. These chemicals are intermediates in azo dyes, pigments, fluorescent whitener, fungicides, pharmaceutical industries etc.
Product Datasheet
When crude Naphthalene is processed through different stages, you get Refined Naphthalene of minimum 98.8 per cent purity. Refined Naphthalene is a white or light yellow, flaky or powdery crystal. It is used in manufacturing of beta napthol, phthalic-anhydride, tanning agents, moth balls, and in the dye- chemicals and pharmaceutical industries.
Product Datasheet
Phenol oil is a mixture of phenol, ortho, meta and para cresol and Xylenol. These phenolic compounds are used in phenolic resins, bis phenol, agrochemicals, tanning industries, and wire enamel industries.
