Business Development Manager for Conductive Materials at the company. “In another direction, motivated by the corona pandemic, our conductive TPE grades offer touch-free solutions as well as tight profiles and sealing solutions,” she says.
Witcom has customers in the automotive industry
already using its radar absorption compounds in the latest radar systems for blind spot detection, cross-traffic alert and more. Opportunities are also seen across the broader EV sector. “While electrifica- tion and digitalisation of cars generate more electro-magnetic interferences, the trend for lower energy consumption and light weighting calls for more plastics. Our latest generation of cost-effective EMI shielding plastics compounds clearly opens new perspectives for metal replacement as well as for metal coating alternatives,” says Udo Schwestka, Business Development Manager for Radar Absorb- ing Materials.

Plastics is also providing a wide range of products with specific ESD protective or conductive charac- teristics. It is working with additives such as carbon black, carbon fibre and other anti-static additives. Tisan cites compounds based on polyethylene,
polypropylene, polystyrene, and PET with surface resistivity ranging from 103
to 1012 ohms/sq for
extrusion and injection moulding. All carbon-based solutions are necessarily black; where light coloured products are required it can produce compounds with a surface resistivity of 108
to 1012 ohm/Sq.
European PVC compounds group Benvic says it will launch a range of polymer grades this year aimed at static and electrical discharge applica- tions. The ProVinyl KCC conductive polymers will target applications as diverse as cables, packaging, tubing and flooring. ‘Speed to market and ease of polymer process- ing have been key to us in designing these specialty materials,’ says Benvic Product Manager,
Philippe Gressier. He says ProVinyl KCC grades are primarily formulated with plasticised PVC and provide electrical performance along with the normally-expected durability, cost effectiveness and ease of processing of PVC. Benvic says the first ProVinyl KCC products will
target specialty cable applications such as low voltage sensors in medical monitoring or automo- tive. In these senstive applications, integrating an “anti-static drain” in the cable sheathing can protect against signal fluctuation and disturbance.
