Conductive Masterbatch

What is Conductive Masterbatch?

We produce advanced engineering grade conductive systems to provide electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and create electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding in plastic parts. Our formulations, which include highly structured conductive carbon black and carbon nanotube technologies, create a permanent electrical network with a low percolation threshold in the polymer matrix. These series, prepared with precise extrusion techniques in our production facilities, adjust the volume and surface resistivity of the final product to the desired ohm levels, providing explosion and spark protection fully compliant with ATEX directives.

In applications requiring critical safety, from automotive fuel systems to electronic packaging and industrial conveyor belts, we offer homogeneous dispersion and absolute electrical stability without reducing the mechanical strength of the polymer.

Recommended Dosage

  • In antistatic and electrostatic dissipative applications: 5.0% - 15.0%
  • In parts requiring conductivity and ESD protection (ATEX compliant): 15.0% - 25.0%

Applications and Effects on the Final Product

Applications / Application Areas

  • Printed circuit board (PCB) transport trays, ESD crates and boxes
  • Ventilation pipes used in mining, tunneling and chemical plants
  • Fuel (gasoline/diesel) tanks, fuel pipes and chemical drums
  • Equipment for explosive atmospheres (ATEX) and antistatic floor tiles
  • Semi-conductive cable shielding layers and electromagnetic shielding (EMI/RFI)

Affected Properties / Effects on the Final Product

  • Permanent volume and surface conductivity: Provides full conductivity by lowering surface and volume resistance to the range of 10² – 10⁶ Ohm.
  • Works independently of ambient humidity: Unlike conventional antistatics, it does not need moisture in the air; it is permanent for life even in dry environments.
  • Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection: 100% prevents sensitive microchips and electronic components from being burnt out by static discharge.
  • Thermal and mechanical stiffness: Supports the structural resistance of the product with its special conductive carbon black or carbon/metallic network structure.
  • Full black opacity and UV resistance: Thanks to its highly conductive carbon structure, it also offers an excellent light and UV barrier.

Effect on the Process and Production Line

  • Does not migrate (bloom) to the surface; leaves no oily layer on the product surface.
  • Offers rheological flow suitable for sheet extrusion (thermoforming) and injection molding.
