mance, low-compound-moisture- absorption Printex Zeta A Beads for pressure pipes. The company says that XPB 633 Beads are specifically geared for thermoplastics requiring conductivity and antistatic properties. “XPB 633 Beads provide better conductivity at lower concen- tration than most conductive blacks,” says Joey LeBlanc, Marketing Manager, Polymers, Americas. “In addition, they have excellent dispersion quality, compound melt flow rates and mechanical strength.”
Above: XPB 633 Beads from Orion Engineered Carbons can provide
conductive and anti-static properties in a wide range of polymers
electrically conductive compounds for applications with multiple requirements. For example, it has produced conductive PPA compounds for fans of central heating systems that required ESD protec- tion, high chemical and thermal stability, high strength and stiffness (resistance to strong centrifu- gal forces), as well as easy processing. It has also supplied conductive PA6 compounds for axial fans for HVAC systems and engine cooling in the mining industry and gas pipelines which required ATEX compliance, reinforcement, halogen-free flame retardancy, grey colour, and good chemical and temperature resistance. Operation from -35°C to 100°C was also required. A further application was a conductive PA66 compound used to make the housings for commu- nication systems used by firefighters. Requirements included ESD protection and ATEX compliance, colorability, high strength and stiffness, high chemical and thermal stability, low flammability (HFFR, UL94/V0 @ 1.6 mm), easy moulding with high flow, and UV resistance. Conductive PC/PBT compounds have also been developed for housings for portable digital gas pressure sensors. The latest introductions from Orion Engineered
Carbons for conductive applications are Speciality Carbon Black XPB 633 Beads and its high-perfor-
Paint improver The XPB 633 Beads are well suited for production of plastic automotive body parts that require conductivity to ensure trouble-free coating. Other applications include injection moulded parts as fuel canisters, boxes, and electronics housings and trays, and for extruded conductive pipes, profiles and packaging films. They are a universal grade suitable for use in a wide range of polymers including polyolefins and co-polymers, PA, PS, and PVC. The Printex Zeta A Beads are designed specially for use in PE 100 and PE 4710 pipe for gas and water distribution. The high chemical purity, low sulphur level and purity of the Printex zeta A Beads minimises taste and odour effects while low com- pound moisture absorption and good dispersion performance ensure smooth, defect-free produc- tion. The products also provide good UV protection, according to the company.
