Easy-to-use, zero-fuss ESD thermoplastic
Staticide® QuantumTube™ MBPA6, composed of Nylon 6 (PA6) with 15 wt% multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), is a carbon nanotube thermoplastic masterbatch designed for exceptional electrical conductivity and electrostatic discharge (ESD) applications for ABS plastics. Unlike carbon black or carbon fiber plastic additives, MWCNTs offer superior electrical conductivity and high flow efficiency even at lower loading levels, making them an excellent choice for injection molding and extrusion processes.
