TUBALL™ MATRIX anti-static masterbatches can be processed with standard equipment that is widely used in the coatings industry:
Other benefits provided by TUBALL™ nanotubes for thermoset fiberglass composites:
Simplified production process
Compared with carbon veil or roving, TUBALL™ nanotubes require lower labor costs and allow conductive pipes and tanks to be produced using the same process as for non-conductive applications. There are thus additional cost savings for producers.
