Azelis announced its new partnership with OCSiAl, the world’s largest single-wall carbon nanotube manufacturer.
Effective immediately, this new agreement will see Azelis distribute OCSiAl’s high-end TUBALL range in France and the UK.
TUBALL products is an innovative technology used to achieve non-black antistatic and conductive applications.
OCSiAl’s produces TUBALL single-wall carbon nanotubes, an advanced additive that improves the properties of base materials.
TUBALL nanotubes have exceptional properties, such as superior conductivity, high-temperature resistance, strength, and flexibility.
This specialty range allows customers to produce non-black finished products with antistatic properties. To simplify nanotube handling, OCSiAl has developed various TUBALL MATRIX nanotube concentrates that allow nanotubes to be used directly in standard manufacturing technological processes.
"We can now offer our customers a solution to create non-black finished products that have a permanent antistatic effect," said Florian Moreau, Product Manager for R&PA at Azelis. "This is not possible with other existing ingredients on the market since these either provide long-lasting antistatic properties for black-only finished products or colored alternatives that only temporarily make the product antistatic."
