✦ Synopsis
this total, 22,500 tonnes/y is accounted for by plants that are wholly-or partlyowned by foreign companies. Shenyang Chemical is the most prominent Chinese company and it is the only one that has developed proprietary technology for making highgrade fumed silica, with a specific area of more than 200 sq m/g. China Chemical Reporter, 6 May 2009, 20 (13), 20 India imposes anti-dumping duties on carbon black imports Phillips (part of the RP Goenka group), Hi-Tech Carbon (part of the Aditya Birla group) and Continental Carbon India (CCI, which is majority controlled by China Synthetic Rubber of Taiwan) jointly filed an official complaint last December about foreign suppliers selling carbon black in India at "less than normal value." (See 'Focus on Pigments', Feb 2009, 4-5). Investigation by the Directorate General of Anti-dumping & Allied Duties revealed that during the year to end-March 2006, imports of carbon black from Australia, China, Russia, Iran, Malaysia and Thailand amounted to only 20,746 tonnes. They more than doubled over the next two years, reaching 53,652 tonnes in 2007/08. The Directorate General determined that dumping by suppliers from these six countries had occurred and had caused material injury to Indian carbon black producers. Therefore, anti-dumping duties ranging from $78 to $195 per tonne should be levied on imports of carbon black from Australia, China, Russia, Iran, Malaysia and Thailand.
