OCSiAl launches the new easy-to-use TUBALL™ MATRIX 822 graphene nanotube concentrate specifically designed for PA, filled PPS, ABS, TPU, and PC compounds for injection molding.
Introducing these nanotubes creates a permanent and homogeneous electrical conductivity without “hot spots” in the range of 105–109 Ω·cm, while retaining the original key mechanical properties, such as durability and strength, and minimally impacting the host polymer matrix.
Graphene Nanotube in e-painting of Plastic Exterior
Graphene nanotube concentrate now enables in-line e-painting of plastic exterior parts together with metal components using electrophoresis, where previously, separate production lines were required.
Furthermore, a low working dosage of 0.1-0.3 wt.% of graphene nanotubes demonstrates only a limited effect on rheological properties and processability.
Manufacturers of polymer injection molded parts for automotive, industrial, construction, mining, and other applications now have opportunity to reduce production costs and the number of rejected final parts without changing standard operating processes by using high-performance graphene nanotubes.
“
The new product will also be valuable for improving automotive safety and tracking systems: graphene nanotubes allow makers to produce high-quality electrically conductive thermoplastic products without compromises in terms of overall product mechanical performance or durability,” said Vladimir Kravchenko, development and support leader for thermosets, OCSiAl Group.
“
We already see demand from manufacturers of fuel system parts including quick connectors, fuel pumps, valves, filter housings, EV-battery caps, and other car components,” added Kravchenko.
