Carbon is LifeCarbon is the basic building block of all organic substances and is therefore the basis of all living things. Because carbon combines readily with oxygen, giving off heat as a by-product, it is also a vital energy source. Carbon is one of the most useful of all chemical elements and Asbury Carbons is the most experienced processor of carbon products for industry today. Amorphous carbons such as coal, petroleum coke, pitch coke, active carbon and carbon black have unique physical and chemical properties. These properties enable us to process amorphous carbons for a myriad of industrial applications including chemical reducing agents, carbide forming reagents, metallurgical products, cathodic protection materials and adsorbing carbons just to name a few. Carbon in the form of crystalline graphite possesses a combination of properties including lubricity, refractoriness, chemically inertness, as well as thermal and electrical conduction. These properties make graphite the material of choice for thousands of end-use applications including crucibles, refractories, cements, lubricants, chemical tank linings, powder metal parts, polymer compounds, drilling fluids, electric motor brushes, batteries, artificial diamonds, and others too numerous to mention.
