Conductive plastic compounds have a variety of applications, including conductor and insulation shields for wire and cables, antistatic, electrostatic dissipation (ESD), electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield, and metal replacement. Plastics are typically electric insulators. It is common to use a conductive additive to tailor the conductivity of plastics to a particular application. In comparison with carbon nanotubes, carbon fiber, graphene, and metal flake or wire, carbon black is the most cost-effective additive to make conductive compounds. This is due to carbon black’s highly engineered process technology and easy dispersibility. In this webinar, the key properties and the requirements of carbon blacks for wire & cable applications will be introduced. The impact of critical carbon black properties on conductive performance in wire & cable applications will be discussed in detail.
