CARBON NANOSTRUCTURES (CNS)
Advanced conductive carbon solutions for high performance applications.
ATHLOS™ CNS are unique best-in-class conductive additives with the following main features:
- High structure: forest of crosslinked branched nanotubes
- High purity: composed of over 97% carbon
- Ease of use: easy to handle pellet form, low dusting and fast incorporation into dispersion material
ATHLOS™ CNS deliver an exceptional combination of conductivity, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and mechanical strength for applications that require high-performance.
ATHLOS™ CNS offer benefits particularly in the following areas:
Lightweighting
ATHLOS™ CNS deliver EMI shielding capabilities at low loadings enabling a transition away from traditional metal solutions.
Electrification
ATHLOS™ CNS offer superior levels of conductivity provided by a carbon-based additive, optimizing performance while driving reductions in cost and weight.
Miniaturization
The low loadings of ATHLOS™ CNS enable designers to develop smaller, thinner and lighter electronics with improved strength and conductivity.
ATHLOS™ CNS enable plastics to deliver optimal conductive and EMI shielding performance in next generation products. ATHLOS CNS facilitates several key performance features including:
- High electrical conductivity
- High EMI shielding performance
- Formulation flexibility
- and many more
ATHLOS™ CNS – FOR SILICONE ELASTOMERS
ATHLOS™ SR1200 CNS can significantly enhance the electrical conductivity of silicone elastomers at low loading levels. The electrical percolation thresholds of ATHLOS SR1200 CNS are between 0.1% and 0.25% by weight in cured high-temperature vulcanized (HTV) and liquid-silicone-rubber (LSR) silicone elastomers.
