Nan Chang Xinsu Nano Materials, OCSiAl’s OEM in China, launches a production line for TUBALL™ COAT_E and TUBALL™ LATEX waterborne graphene nanotube suspensions. It is to meet the demand from customers in Asia, Europe, and the US.
These ready-to-use solutions based on TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes are specifically designed for the manufacture of various types of high-performance conductive coatings. These are made of epoxy, acrylic, polyester, polyurethane, and latex, as well as anti-static thermoplastic products.
Upgrading Nanotube-empowered Coatings
The ultralow nanotube dosage is combined with its unique properties and easy-to-handle liquid form. This makes it possible to produce more functional, sustainable, and environmentally friendly products without significant adjustments in the manufacturing process.
The key properties granted by nanotubes are a permanent, stable surface resistivity of 105–108 Ohm/sq. They are independent of humidity and temperature, maintained mechanical properties, absence of free carbon particle release to the material’s surface, bright colors, and a transparency of up to 90%. All these make graphene nanotubes the ultimate solution for high-performance sustainable coating products.
“
Nanotube-empowered coatings are already well explored by manufacturers worldwide. It is a testament to the unrivalled added value of the product and much simplified technological process compared to conventional solutions,” said Ian Fellows, chief executive officer, OCSiAl USA.
Applications include automotive polyurethane synthetic leather for anti-dust, more durable, safer interiors. It also includes anti-static latex coatings for ESD protective wear that fully complies with EN 16350. It is suitable for PET protective film coatings for packaging, gloves with touchscreen compatibility and anti-static thermoplastic articles.
The launch of the new production line by Nan Chang Xinsu Nano Materials has increased TUBALL™ suspension production capacity. It contributes to the stability of the manufacturing and supply chains.
“
Coupled with continuous customer support services worldwide, it will also speed up technology adoption and improve the cost-efficiency and accessibility of nanotubes for our customers,” said Zhi Loyes, general manager of Greater China and SEA at OCSiAl.
