Product Highlights

T255™ is recognized as an industry standard feed for the production of sintered rechargeable battery electrodes:

  • Sinters readily to form a conductive, open porosity network
  • Uniform size distribution and density results in controlled porosity in sintered electrodes and other porous structures
  • Porosity-strength relationship of sintered T255™ is well understood, enabling tailoring of porous structure

Applications & Uses

Industrial Additives End Use
Product Applications

T255™ is widely used as a conductive additive in:

  • Batteries and fuel cells
  • Pigments in coatings, especially for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications
  • Polymers for electronic applications to provide electrical conductivity

T255™ is also used in powder metallurgical applications, as the filamentary structure can be broken down into fine primary particles.
