TUBALL single-wall carbon nanotube coating system new functional conductive additives

TuBALL single-wall carbon nanotubes deliver a range of superior performance for coatings compared to standard anti-static additives such as conductive mica and carbon black, TiO2, graphite powder or carbon fiber.
simply adding 0.01% of the single-walled carbon nanotubes as conductive additives allows the coating formulation to achieve the required conductivity, retaining its color, surface properties, fluidity and improving its mechanical properties.
Advantages of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes:
- Achieves the required conductivity levels
-Retains the original color of the compound
-Retains the fluid properties
-Improves mechanical performance
-cost-effectiveness
OcsiAl produces high-quality single-wall carbon nanotubes, and the ultra-low addition required to achieve new coating properties, and single-wall carbon nanotubes are considered one of the most cost-effective solutions for conductive coatings .
Single-walled carbon nanotubes - Industrial-friendly pre-dispersors
To simplify the treatment of single-wall carbon nanotubes, OCSiAl has developed a range of TUBALL MATRIX pre-dispersed single-wall carbon nanotubes for all the most common liquid and powder coating formulations based on epoxy, polyester, ethylene, polyurethane, acrylic, melamine and phenolic resins.
to obtain a TUBALL MATRIX sample, or visit the OCSiAl booth of the 2020 China International Coatings Exhibition, move to Hall 2.1 D33 booth for more application details, or contact chris.chen@ocsial.com, 135 9012 5295.
a full range of conductive, bright colors and coating durability
TUBALL MATRIX can form a high-density conductive network with ultra-low additions, covering insulation areas or "blind spots". Achieving the same resistivity levels, high additions to standard conductive agents, and the use of single-wall carbon nanotube pre-dispersors allow you to provide a wide range of colors for the final product and preserve the original mechanical properties of the compound.
end product containing single-walled carbon nanotubes
replacing other standard conductive agents with single-walled carbon nanotube pre-dispersions helps end-product manufacturers reduce costs. For example, the thickness of the coating can be reduced during ESD flooring, with less epoxy resins used, while manufacturers of lining coatings in tanks can achieve light-color lining coatings, thereby reducing the number and duration of visual inspection of conductive coatings. At present, TUBALL single-wall carbon nanotube coatings are widely used in oil and gas, transportation, automotive industry, electronics and other industries.
2020 China International Coatings Exhibition, you can move to Hall 2.1 D33 booth to learn about TUBALL single-walled carbon nanotube enhancement products.
Application Case
1 Anti-static epoxy flooring
OCSiAl developed TUBALL MATRIX series of products is an old friend of the flooring industry, in the conventional solvent-free self-leveling, solvent-based thin coating flooring project, the resistance is stable, no blind spot characteristics by the owner's high recognition. At the same time, after OCSiAl Shanghai Research and Development Center formulation optimization, will be provided to Chinese customers with a better cost-effective, leveling effect based on single-wall carbon nanotube pre-dispersion solutions. In the water-based epoxy and polyurethane systems, OCSiAl's innovative water-based dispersions have overwhelmingly replaced traditional conductive mica, and in the anti-static hydroelectrelectural floor wax system, OCSiAl is about to introduce compatible single-wall carbon nanotube dispersions!
2 Anti-static voltage sensitive adhesive protective film
TUBALL™ MATRIX 617 beta is a pre-dispersion based on TUBALL single-wall carbon nanotubes designed for silicone PSA systems that give them anti-static properties without affecting their transparency, curing performance, coating process, and weather resistance, both during coating processes and during the use of molded products. Eliminating the adverse effects of static electricity, silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive coating PEDOT anti-static can only reach 1010 s/sq, and after PSA coating PEDOT as the base, the addition of 0.04% TUBALL ™ single-wall carbon nanotubes can achieve 106 s/sq.
TUBALL MATRIX 617 beta is based on the addition of a single-walled carbon nanotube with charge conduction in the PSA coating, which can be transmitted from the surface of the membrane to the PEDOT substructure through a single-wall carbon nanotube, and then carried away by the PEDOT bottom.
3 Anti-static PET protective film
anti-static film is characterized by the addition of anti-static agents or conductive additives to the PET film, so that the film surface forms a thin continuous single-wall carbon nanotube conductive network, improve surface conductivity, so that the resulting charge as soon as possible export. Depending on the specific requirements of different customers, surface resistivity ≤ 104-11 ohm/sq.
