Carbon black, which is an important ingredient in a tyre, was regenerated from waste automobile tyre tread component. The regenerated black was characterised by different chemical and analytical methods and the properties were compared with a virgin N330 black. The regenerated black was also evaluated in a bias lug type tyre tread cap compound. It was observed that compared to the virgin black the regenerated black exhibited marginal inferior physico-mechanical properties. A linear trend of decrease in properties on increasing the dosage of the regenerated black was also observed.
