New PP-based PRE-ELEC® materials
Our new materials PP 19161 (conductive compound), PP 19136 (dissipative compound), and PP 19279 (concentrate) are polypropylene-based thermoplastics.
PP 19161 and PP 19136 can be used in crates and technical parts. PP 19279 can be used for corrugated boards, sheets, and profile applications.
PP 19279 contains a high load of carbon black, and it can be diluted with virgin or recycled polypropylene. The actual amount should always be tested as it also depends on the processing conditions.
Comparison table of the new materials:
| Product | Compound / concentrate | Volume resistivity | Surface resistance | Processing method |
| PP 19161 | Compound | 90 Ωcm | 4•103 Ω | Injection molding |
| PP 19136 | Compound | > 5000 Ωcm | 7•106 Ω | Injection molding |
| PP 19279* | Concentrate | 11 Ωcm | 5•102 Ω | Extrusion |
* The values for PP 19279 are measured from 30% dilution
