ECP 12E EMI Shielding Thermoplastic Stainless Steel Fibre Masterbatch
ECP 12E is a stainless steel fibre masterbatch within an emulsion-based ethylene acrylic acid zinc ionomer binder, 25% by weight. It can be used with Styrenic Thermoplastics, PS,SAN, ABS aslo PPO and PPE Alloys, Polypropylene/Polyolefines.
Other binders are available - ECP 16E using nylon 6/12 binder 25% by weight for use with nylon 6, 6/6, 6/10 6/12, PBT, PET. ECP 20E with a polycarbonate binder 40% by weight, for use with polycarbonate, polysulphone, PES, PET, PEJ, PBT.
The masterbatch is added at very low levels ensuring minimal effect on colour, mouldability and other base polymer properties by 1% by volume.
The use of this system allows emi shielded articles to be produced in one process without additional equipment, labour or secondary processing and provides cost effective solution to emi shielding problems.
Features
