Conductive Masterbatch

Most plastics are naturally non-conductive, hence their wide use as electrical insulators. Because of their ease of fabrication, chemical inertness and low density, polymers are highly desirable materials as replacements to conventional materials. When some transfer of electrical charge is needed, modifications to the polymer must be made to increase conductivity. This has resulted in plastics being formulated for use in four distinct application categories of increasing conductivity:

Generally thermoplastic polymers have a surface resistivity of 10 ¹² to 10 ¹⁶ Ω2 which characterizes low transfer of electrons making them effective insulators. To overcome this limitation, electrically conductive additives are added to the polymer compound.

 

NCJ polymers has developed a range of conductive compounds and concentrates based on carbon particulates incorporated into specially selected polymer grades to offer the most reliable and cost-efficient choice for producing electrically conductive plastic compounds. We are also able to develop a grade suitable for you.
