According to foreign media reports, a European manufacturer recently successfully used OCSiAl's TUBALL single-walled carbon nanotubes to produce a high-performance PE antistatic film, compared with the pure film, these antistatic PE blown film transmittance 90%, vertical fracture stress increased by about 60%, can maintain permanent conductivity.
Antistatic bags, FIBC liners, electrostatic shielding bags and films, protective tapes and conductive films are generally designed to protect certain products and products from static electricity.
However, traditional alternatives are flawed. Permanent anti-static additives, such as carbon black, can lead to reduced mechanical properties and darkening effects, and migration of antistatic additives can lead to non-permanent conductivity under different humidity conditions. Now, single-walled carbon nanotubes can now avoid these problems and single-walled carbon nanotubes can provide the best value proposition in terms of price, making it an exciting new choice for the industry.
Recently a TUBALL single-walled carbon nanotube from OCSiAl (Ludlow, Luxembourg) was successfully used to produce a high-performance PE antistatic film using a European manufacturer (still under protection of confidentiality agreement) Blown film extrusion molding.
0.01% TUBALL nanotubes were introduced with an easy-to-handle TUBALLMATRIX 810 concentrate with a surface resistivity of 5109 to 1011 Ω / sq, meeting ANSI / ESDS 541-2003 and IEC 61340-5-1-2007 standards for preventing the electrostatic effects of packaging materials. These antistatic PE blown films have a light transmittance of 90% compared to a pure film, which is not achievable with carbon black, and in addition, the breaking stress in the vertical direction is increased by about 60%, which improves the durability of the PE film Sex.
These findings demonstrate one of the key features of TUBALL nanotubes that they are capable of creating 3D conducting and enhancing networks at very low loadings.Throughout the thermal stability of nanotube recipes, membranes have also shown promise compared to other conventional additives.
The use of TUBALLMATRIX concentrates eliminates the need for the use of carbon black-related powders or dusts in standard clean production processes, and all of these developments and benefits encourage the company to continue testing TUBALL nanotubes and discover their TUBALL nanotubes through a variety of processes including extrusion and injection molding The potential for producing other antistatic parts from polyolefin polymers.
