Binder Pitch is derived from the processing of high
temperature coal tar. It is a black solid material at room
temperature and consists of a complex mixture of
predominantly aromatic hydrocarbons.
USES
Aluminium Industry: Binder Pitch is used for
manufacturing of pre-baked and soderberg anodes in
the aluminium industry. These anodes are used in the
electrolysis process of extracting aluminium from
alumina
ADVANTAGES
Supreme Industries has Binder Pitch manufacturing facilities
of international standards with some of the best
equipment, latest technology and strict processes and
quality control. A melting station in Eastern India will
provide better and prompt service to the customers.
Supreme Industries melting station is based in a region
which houses almost 70% of the volume of aluminium
manufacturing
GRAPHITE INDUSTRY
Binder Pitch is used for manufacturing of electrodes in
the graphite industry. CTP constitutes around 40
percent of graphite electrode by volume, with large
part of the balance accounted for by Coke/C.P.C
PACKAGING
Binder Pitch is supplied both in solid and liquid form.
Solid pitch is packed in 50kg and 1mt bags. Liquid
pitch is transported through a dedicated fleet of
specialised tankers with heating facility.
