Carbon. Pitch. Re-imagined.
Carbon Pitch is an essential ingredient for making graphite artifacts.
Pitch is a critical material in the industrial supply chain.
MotorCarbon is turning a waste stream into a valuable commodity.
PetPitch™ is made from abundant residual oil from refineries.
PetPitch is produced in an environmentally sustainable way.
Electric Vehicles
In Li-Ion batteries, graphite anode powders coated with PetPitch have higher energy density.
In PEM fuel cells, the purer the pitch in graphite bi-polar plates, the higher the efficiency.
Activated Carbon
Activated PetPitch is used for water and air purification and in food and medicine production.
Unlike coal tar pitches, PetPitch is not carcinogenic and ideal as low-cost filter particles.
Specialty Graphite
PetPitch is essential binder in graphite EDM, carbon parts & brakes and as feedstock for pitch fibers
Graphite Electrodes
The softening point of PetPitch can be customized for impregnation pitch or binder pitch.
Low insolubles and high coking values make it superior to coal tar pitches.
Carbon Anodes
Coke & Binder Pitch
PetPitch has similar properties as CTP, and can be used as a direct replacement binder at aluminum smelters.
When mixed, PetPitch significantly reduces carcinogenic PAHs in coal tar pitch for producing carbon anodes.
Paint & Coatings
Epoxy and urethane paints mixed with PetPitch are excellent anti-corrosion coatings against sea-water, oil and chemicals for submerged structures, pipelines, ships and waterproofing of concrete walls.
Nuclear Graphite
A nuclear moderator is made up of 3000 graphite bricks to house the fuel rods.
Pebble-bed reactors use 15,000+ tennis ball-size pebbles as fuel and moderators.
Customized PetPitch, with its inherent low insolubles, is the ideal binder to form the graphite.
Accolades
As a Scope 3 supplier, MotorCarbon can help manufacturers reach their environmental targets.
MotorCarbon is turning an oil refinery waste stream into a valuable, environmentally sustainable commodity.
Our inventions in pitch production enable the transformation of safer carbon into life’s everyday use. PetPitch can avert national supply chain vulnerability during times of geo-political friction.
PetPitch is a direct replacement of Coal Tar Pitch.
Coal Tar Pitch is a by-product of legacy iron blast furnaces. Coal Tar Pitch is carcinogenic and detrimental to the environment.
The European Union is proposing a ban on high-temperature coal tar pitch: www.hbm4eu.eu REACH Annex XV
