Coal Tar Pitch (Binder)

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

TCPL 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. TCPL’s 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.
