CarboCond - electrically conductive epoxy resins based on CNTs

about

Products of the CarboCond series are electrically conductive, solvent-free and stably crystalizing epoxy resins. They consist of low-molecular bisphenol A and bisphenol F components, and contain carbon nanoparticles. The electrical conductivity of CarboCond can be optimized for a very wide selection of applications by simply varying the carbon concentration.
 
Aimed at as wide a range of applications as possible, CarboCond is obtainable in two basic types for different viscosity and hardening parameters:

  • CarboCond 171, with dynamic viscosity of approx. 13 Pa∙s, is suitable for cold, warm or hot hardening.
  • CarboCond 471 is reactively diluted, its dynamic viscosity is approx. 3 Pa∙s, and it is suitable for cold or warm hardening.

CarboCond can be used wherever very high electrical conductivity is called for, e.g.

  • floors,
  • coatings,
  • cast parts,
  • ESD protective components.

 

Properties

Characteristics: 

CarboCond exhibits numerous advantages compared to conventional systems filled with carbon black or graphite:

  • unequaled electrical conductivity (specific resistance in the region of 10² Ω ∙cm),
  • substantially improved mechanical properties compared to commercial, electrically conductive epoxy resin systems,
  • adjustable electrical conductivity through matched carbon content,
  • obtainable in different versions, e.g. for mold making or coatings.

CarboCond products have dynamic viscosity of 3 to 13 Pa·s. They consist of low-molecular epoxy resins based on bisphenol A and F, and contain carbon nanoparticles plus graphite.
 
CarboCond comes in three different ranges of conductivity:

  • 0.1 weight % carbon nanoparticles, specific resistance 105 to 107Ω∙cm
  • 0.4 weight % carbon nanoparticles, specific resistance 103 to 105Ω∙cm
  • 0.6 weight % carbon nanoparticles, specific resistance 102 to 103Ω∙cm

Applications

Applications: 

CarboCond can be used wherever very high electrical conductivity is called for, e.g.

  • floors,
  • coatings,
  • cast parts,
  • ESD protective components.

 
CarboCond products are compatible with very different epoxy resin systems, and can also serve as a master batch in various concentrations.
 
The resulting specific resistance will implement diverse standards in the area of ESD/explosion protection.
