Conductive Compounds

Colloids has developed two proven ranges of conductive compounds which offer customers effective enhanced performance solutions to the design engineering challenges from electrical and thermal conductivity that a plastic component can face in in electrical and electronicsautomotive, consumer and industrial products and packaging, storage and distribution end use applications.

Electrical compounds (E-TEC®) range – for applications where varying degrees of permanent electrical conductivity are required. Available as standard in PS, PC/ABS, PP, PA and PE (for film to 75 micron).

Four standard E-TEC® grades are available for rigid plastic containers and flexible sheet or film packaging, higher service temperature applications and where tougher, higher impact performance is required.

Features & Benefits

  • A range of surface resistivity and polymer processing grade options
  • Guaranteed conductive performance carbon black based bespoke E-TEC® formulations
  • Enhanced static dissipation and electrical conductive performance
  • Superior mechanical properties
  • Enhanced process capability
  • Excellent weldability and aesthetics

Thermal compounds (H-TEC®) range – developed to offer design engineers alternative material solutions to metals or ceramics by overcoming the low thermal conductivity of polymers, using thermally conductive filler components in compound formulations.

Features & Benefits

  • Custom formulated H-TEC® compounds to meet specific application needs
  • Enables designers to specify a lightweight, non-corrosive, plastic component
  • Inherent low thermal expansion coefficient lowers moulded part shrinkage
  • Overcomes heat build-up in electrical components
  • Can reduce mould cycle times and improve processability
  • Increases service life and improves part efficacy in use
