TUBALL™ MATRIX 201

1 of 15 products in this brand
TUBALL™ MATRIX 201 is a concentrate based on TUBALL™ single wall carbon nanotubes specifically designed to provide superior electrical conductivity to solvent-free epoxy systems while retaining mechanical properties and minimally impacting the host matrix. TUBALL™ MATRIX 201 is available in flakes with a pasty texture form. TUBALL™ is a unique single wall carbon nanotube additive from OCSiAl that provides electrical conductivity at ultra-low dosage with minimal impact on the rheological and mechanical properties of the host matrix.

Technical Details & Test Data

Typical addition rate

Depending on the characteristics of the dilution polymer and the processing conditions, the loading range of TUBALL™ MATRIX 201 for anti-static or dissipative applications can be as low as 0.1–4.0 wt.%. The exact loading level depends on the required performance, resin characteristics, processing conditions and presence of other ingredients. An example of a percolation curve, obtained by compounding TUBALL™ MATRIX 201 in D.E.R. 351 epoxy resin, is shown in the figure below. The dilution of the concentrate in neat D.E.R. 351 was performed using a mechanical overhead stirrer.
