TUBALL™ nanotubes, applied at low dosages, allow the production of colorful and even light gray primers with an L-value as high as 75%.
In contrast to other conductive additives used for light-colored primers (e.g. conductive TiO2 or mica), TUBALL™ nanotubes can be applied at low dosages, providing cost efficiency.
The light colors of primers containing TUBALL™ nanotubes provide the opportunity to apply a thinner basecoat in comparison with primers containing other carbon conductive agents.
TUBALL™ MATRIX can be applied with widely used equipment.
