Industrial Carbon Applications
Biochar for Carbon Black Replacement
Wakefield CarbonMicro® 50 is micronized, wood-derived biochar for manufacturers exploring carbon black reduction or replacement. Its fine particle size and low moisture provide a renewable starting material for formulations that use carbon for reinforcement, filler, or black color. Order in 1,000 lb or 2,000 lb bulk bags. Tell us your application, quantity, and delivery location—we’ll respond within one business day.
Bring Renewable Carbon Into Your Formulation
Renewable Material
Replace a portion of fossil-derived carbon ingredients with carbon made from wood residuals. CarbonMicro 50 gives you a renewable starting material for formulations that call for fine carbon powder.
A Role in Your Formulation
CarbonMicro 50 combines high carbon content, low moisture, and micronized particles. Use formulation testing to find the replacement level that fits your product’s color, processing, and performance requirements.
Support for Production
Wakefield can help match product specifications, packaging, and supply to your needs. For qualifying production volumes, we can discuss tailored specifications or additional processing. Sample availability and costs are confirmed with your request.
CarbonMicro® 50
- Organic Carbon: 85–95%

CarbonMicro® 50
A fine powder for carbon black replacement trials
CarbonMicro 50 supplies a fine, low-moisture carbon powder made from wood residuals. Its specifications, bulk packaging, and sample availability give manufacturers a practical starting point for carbon black replacement trials.
Available in 1,000 lb and 2,000 lb bulk bags.
Product values reflect typical material properties and may vary by lot. See the specification sheet for full measurement details. Samples are available upon request.
Premium Biochar LM™
A coarser, low-moisture input for your own milling or further processing when you need a different particle-size profile.
Replacement Opportunities and Related Research
Fillers and Reinforcement
Research shows that biochar can replace part of the carbon black in selected rubber formulations. In plastics, researchers also explore biochar as an alternative to mineral fillers, giving manufacturers another route to renewable material inputs.
Pigments and Color
Researchers have made black inks from processed biochar, opening a route to bio-based pigments. These studies show opportunities for bringing renewable carbon into ink and coating formulations.
Beyond Replacement: Conductive Research
Specially prepared biochars have been studied in electrodes, sensing surfaces, and conductive composites. Explore how researchers are developing biochar-derived carbon for these material functions.

FAQ
What is the minimum order, and how is CM50 packaged?
The minimum order is 1,000 lb. Choose 1,000 lb or 2,000 lb bulk bags; each 2,000 lb bulk bag contains one US short ton.
How soon will my order ship?
Typical lead time is 3–4 weeks until shipment, with transit time additional. Share your delivery location and desired timing when requesting pricing. Confirm the current shipping schedule when ordering; this is not a guaranteed delivery date.
What if we do our own milling or need another particle-size profile?
Ask about Premium Biochar LM as a coarser, low-moisture input for your own milling or processing. Tell us the material requirements for your operation so we can discuss the available option.
