Conductive Masterbatch

Conductive masterbatch is a high-concentration functional masterbatch made by incorporating conductive fillers such as conductive carbon black, carbon nanotubes, or metal powders into a carrier of polyolefin or engineering plastics. It functions by forming a stable conductive network within the plastic, reducing surface or volume resistivity to impart antistatic, electric shock resistance, electromagnetic interference resistance, or conductive properties to the material. Conductive color masterbatch is commonly used in electronic packaging, antistatic containers, and other fields.

“Common Types of Conductive Masterbatch

Various types of conductive color masterbatches impart electrical conductivity to products

Carbon Black Conductive Masterbatch: Primarily composed of highly structured conductive carbon black, it achieves stable surface resistance through the formation of a conductive network. Suitable for packaging, electronics, and automotive components.

Graphene Conductive Color Masterbatch: Leveraging graphene’s superior conductivity and thermal stability, it delivers lightweight yet highly efficient conductivity, suitable for high-performance films and electronic packaging.

Metal Powder Conductive color Masterbatch: Incorporates metal particles like copper, nickel, or silver powders to impart high conductivity to products. Primarily used in high-end applications such as electronic components and sensor housings.

CNT Conductive Master batch: Achieves extremely low resistance via the three-dimensional conductive structure of carbon nanotubes. Suitable for high-standard anti-static pallets, semiconductor transport containers, etc.

Metal Fiber Conductive Masterbatch: Incorporates stainless steel fibers or metal wires to form conductive pathways, offering robust conductivity ideal for demanding anti-static or electrostatic shielding applications.

Anti-static Masterbatch: A transfer-type formulation that forms an anti-static layer through interfacial migration. Suitable for packaging materials and short-term anti-static applications.

FAQS

Q1: What level of conductivity can be achieved with conductive masterbatch?

A1: The surface resistivity of conductive color masterbatch typically ranges from 10³ to 10⁹ Ω, varying depending on the specific system (carbon black, CNT, graphene, metal powder). If customers require higher levels of conductivity, this can be achieved by increasing the filler content or utilizing a carbon nanotube system.

Q3: What is the typical dosage for conductive master batch?

A3:The standard addition ratio for conductive color master batch ranges from 10–18%. For film and sheet applications, 8–12% is commonly used. High-conductivity requirements, such as conductive pipes or automotive components, necessitate 12–18% to form a stable conductive network.
The final ratio depends on the target resistance value, base resin type, and product thickness.

Q5: Does conductive colour masterbatch affect plastic color?

A5: Traditional carbon black systems typically yield black or gray hues. However, using CNT or graphene systems enables blue, green, metallic gray, and even custom colors. For colored conductive plastics, we offer customized conductive color masterbatch solutions balancing conductivity and visual aesthetics.

Q2: What is the difference between conductive masterbatch and antistatic masterbatch?

A2: Antistatic masterbatch is a migratory type, providing only short-term antistatic effects that degrade over time.
Conductive color masterbatch builds an internal conductive network, delivering long-term, permanent conductivity and ESD protection without significant degradation due to migration or aging.
For applications like electronic packaging, semiconductor transport, or automotive components, permanent conductive masterbatch is recommended.

Q4: What carriers are suitable for conductive color masterbatch?

A4: Conductive colour master batch is compatible with various thermoplastics including PE, PP, ABS, PS, PA, and PET. It serves as a common anti-static and conductive modification material for electronic packaging, logistics pallets, and industrial containers.
Different industries can select corresponding carriers based on processing techniques to enhance compatibility and dispersion effects.

Q6: Can conductive masterbatch be used for injection molding/blown film?

A6: Yes. Conductive master batch exhibits excellent processing flow and thermal stability, making it suitable for common processes like blown film, extrusion, injection molding, thermoforming, and blow molding. It does not cause carbon black blooming or agglomeration, making it ideal for high-volume production.
