based plastics for primerless painting both technically and economically attractive.


Figure 3: Global cost comparison between painted exterior parts using a conductive primer and conductive exterior parts where base coat is directly applied by electrostatic paint process. Standard deviations illustrate to existing or new paintshops


deviations in Figure 3, which shows that the additional cost per exterior part of using NC7000 MWCNTs has decreased since 2010 due to falling prices and the recent discovery (evidenced in Figure 1a) that even a low amount of NC7000 is sufficient for good transfer efficiency. This combination makes the use of NC7000-


Conclusion: new possibilities NC7000 has been shown to make plastics suitable for electrostatic painting without a conductive primer. Only low concentrations are required (1-1.5 wt% depending on the plastic) to achieve a similar paint transfer efficiency to aconductive primer, reducing the impact on mechani- cal properties and cost. By delivering electrical conduc- tivity both at the surface and in the bulk plastic, NC7000 provides additional paths for grounding. Together with very good paint adhesion/appearance results and reduced material cost, this opens up new possibilities for primerless painting of automotive exterior parts.
