TUBALL™ MATRIX only requires an ultra-low dosage starting from just 0.1 wt.%;
Allows production of conductive parts that retain bright colors;
Maintains or even increases mechanical strength;
Ensures permanent and uniform electrical conductivity without “hot spots”;
Without a significant increase in viscosity or density of the host material.- Warranties and disclaimer

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 208 for anti-static or dissipative applications can be as low as 0.1–
4.0 wt.% calculated based on non-volatile matter. 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 208 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. This plot is for a solvent-free system, but it can be
used for solvent-based systems, for which it is necessary to recalculate the TUBALL™ MATRIX 208
concentration based on non-volatile matter.
Safety & Health
- Safety
To ensure safe handling, the appropriate safety regulations should be observed. OCSiAl
