Integral Technologies has added a new resin-based material to its portfolio of non-corrosive, electrically conductive composite products. The ElectriPlast-CF66 composite material is ideal for aerospace, marine and automotive applications that require excellent mechanical, thermal and electro-magnetic shielding properties.
Electronics, consumer goods, automotive and various other industries are looking for innovative, lightweight solutions to address the growing demand for lighter and movable products. The introduction of EP-CF66 can benefit these industries. It is made of nickel-plated carbon fiber and polyamide (PA) 66. When compared to other conductive plastics, the EP-CF66 is lighter and decreases the component weight.
The EP-CF66 composite is a major advancement in the electrically conductive hybrid plastics. The material has greater mechanical strength and resists high frequency vibration, fluid corrosion and very high temperatures. It is suitable for electromagnetic shielding application in engine compartments and various other harsh environments.
Components molded with the EP-CF66 surpass aluminum at particular frequencies and provide 50%-60% weight reduction than traditional metals. The properties of the rein-based material can be altered into any size and shape related with rubbers, plastics and other polymers.
