Applications of Ketjenblack
EC-600JD is a very pure carbon black extremely suitable for antistatic and electroconductive applications. Due to its unique morphology and the extremely high surface area of approx. 1400 m2/g (BET), only one sixth the amount of Ketjenblack EC600-JD is needed compared to conventional electroconductive blacks in order to achieve the same conductivity. The extreme low loading of Ketjenblack EC600-JD allows easier processing for those compounds sensitive to filler addition, thus minimizing loss in mechanical and rheological properties. Ketjenblack EC-600JD when thoroughly dispersed with the polymer significantly increases the conductivity of the resulting compound. Ketjenblack EC-600JD can be used in all types of polymers, thermoset, thermoplastic as well as elastomers. Due to its unique morphology and structure with very low amounts of Ketjenblack EC-600JD excellent conductive material can be made. The loading needed to obtain a certain conductivity can vary significantly per type of polymer.
Ketjenblack Features
(1) Same level of electro-conductivity as conventional carbon black but with 1/2 to 1/3 of the loading quantity
(2) Effective at a lower loading quantity, has minimal effect on the physical properties of base resins or paint
(3) Minimal reduction in electro-conductivity when mixed with other materials
