Static Dissipative Fluorinar™ PVDF filament
Fluoropolymers such as PVDF have very high resistivity and are often used as an insulating water in wire and cable applications. The flow of electrons can be improved by the addition of a conductive material to the PVDF such as carbon black. However, a large amount of conductive material must be compounded with the PVDF in order to achieve electrical conductivity. This can result in a high melt flow viscosity creating a brittle material that is difficult to process by extrusion and injection molding
Electrical resistance in PVDF is greatly reduced without sacrificing mechanical properties by incorporating small amounts of graphene. This nano-compound provides static dissipation of ppm concentrations. The result is our PVDF ESD filament called Fluorinar-ESD™. Now you can create static dissipative parts while retaining the high-strength, impact and chemical resistance expected with Kynar® PVDF.
