Conductive Carbon Blacks are the most reliable and cost-efficient choice for producing conductive compounds

 

Carbon black is primarily made up of a conductive form of carbon with a high specific surface area and a well-developed structure – microporosity. The grouping of carbon black makes it easier to build a conductive structure in plastics, rubbers, and other composites.

 

It helps to keep electrical items cool and maintain them by protecting them from mechanical harm. Conductive carbon black makes polymers conductive even at low loading levels, resulting in improved mechanical property retention. Jacket covers for high-power transmission cables, as well as protecting sensitive electronic components, are made of electrically conductive plastic.

 

For manufacturing conductive compounds, conductive carbon blacks are the most dependable and cost-effective option. Carbon black conductivity efficiency is influenced by primary particle size, structure, and porosity. Smaller black particles have a larger surface area and a stronger inter-aggregate attractive force.

 

Carbon black characteristics like as structure and surface are mostly responsible for conductivity. Chains of aggregates and agglomerates should be used to build a conductive network. This is achieved when the carbon black has a high structure at low pigment volume concentrations. At low pigment volume concentrations, a higher structure allows for the preservation of a carbon network. As a result, our grades have unique characteristics such as electrical and thermal conductivity. Other variables, such as processing methods and mixing, do, however, have a major impact on the conductive efficiency of the compounds.

 

One of the most important raw materials used in semi-conductive compounds to make HV- and MV-cables for the transfer of electric current is specialty carbon black. Both the conductor shield and the insulator shield get electrical conductivity from specialty carbon blacks. The semi-conductive layer in power cables helps to distribute the electrical field evenly, minimising electrical pressures on the cable's Polymer components. This smoothing effect eliminates local failure and ensures a long service life for the cable.
