CABELEC CONDUCTIVE COMPOUNDS AND CONCENTRATES PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Product performance and applications Figure 1: Conductivity regime CABELEC conductive compounds are manufactured to exacting specifications to ensure reliable performance. They offer numerous advantages over competitive conductive materials such as metals. CABELEC conductive compounds are: Lightweight Recyclable Easy-to-handle and process Corrosion-resistant RESISTIVITY ( -CM) 10 1 10 12 10 10 10 8 10 6 10 10 2 1 Conductivity regime Insulative Antistatic Dissipative Conductive Materials Neat polymer Conductive plastics for ESD The primary application for plastics is the dissipation of static charge to protect against electrical damage, and the application range spans the ESD conductivity regime shown in Figure 1. The end uses include: 10-2 10 - Metals Electrical and electronics (E&E) Industrial Automotive Conductivity (S/cm) = 1/Resistivity (Ω-cm) Processability CABELEC conductive compounds can be processed directly on conventional plastics processing equipment without the need for dilution. Our conductive concentrates We also offer conductive concentrates, which can be used to design a unique compound. Our conductive concentrates are designed to meet the critical needs of compounders and processors who require conductivity for electrostatic discharge and other critical conductive applications. These products enable processors and compounders to tailor conductivity and customize formulations at lower handling costs.
