Premix Oy has extended its comprehensive range of electrically conductive compounds to nanofilled materials. In addition to compounds made with conventional conductive fillers such as carbon black, carbon and stainless steel fibers, graphite, dissipative and conductive polymers and metallised particles, Premix Oy can now provide its customers with PRE-ELEC® NANO - electrically conductive compounds with carbon nanotubes.
Carbon nanotubes offer a non-sloughing, permanent and homogeneous solution for controlling the static electricity. The nanosize of the fillers combined with good dispersion eliminates the risk of hot spots even in the microscale on the surface of the plastic part. Consequently the surface conductivity is very uniform, which gives superior protection to fragile electrical components.
The new PRE-ELEC® NANO compounds are based on polycarbonate and exhibit surface resistance in the 104¡V109 ohms range depending on the processing method and conditions.
The product is particularly suited to applications in electronics manufacturing, where high cleanliness requirements are in place. PRE-ELEC® NANO has extremely low ion content, outgassing, and non-volatile residue (NVR) values. It can also be used in highly demanding special ATEX applications, if the performance of conventional fillers is insufficient.
