Scanning electron microscope images show a conductive compound of 5% Ketjenblack EC-300J in polypropylene. Dispersion is achieved when the 100 micron Ketjenblack agglomerates are broken into aggregates of around 0.1-1 microns
tubes for antistatic, dissipative, and EMI shielding; some parts made as a result of this project were on display at K2016. Challenges overcome during this research project included how to safely handle CNT powders, dispersing CNTs during compounding, and injection and extrusion protocols to maximise the final part’s conductivity, according to Roca.
Engineering solutions Conductive carbon black manufacturer Cabot Corpora- tion has recently added capacity at its Pepinster plant in Belgium for producing conductive compounds and masterbatches for engineering thermoplastics. At the K-show last year, it presented Cabelec CA6410, a conductive compound suited for conductive packaging and containers for transportation that is said to meet “increasingly rigorous safety standards in logistics and industrial production.” Cabot also introduced the Cabelec XS6296 concentrate in polystyrene for sheet extrusion and thermoforming. AkzoNobel’s Ketjenblack EC superconductive carbon
blacks can be used to make conductive compounds at low addition levels compared to conventional conductive carbon blacks, says Dr Elisa Conte, Technical Develop- ment Manager for Polymer Additives EMEA at AkzoNo- bel Polymer Chemistry. Uses include shoe soles and conductive flooring for cleanrooms and for hospitals with machinery that needs to be grounded, as well as conveyor belts, fuel tanks and hoses, and cables. The additives offer high purity; impurities such as metals, grit, and fines can cause processing problems or
