OCSiAl from Luxembourg has developed a new conductive silicone, loaded with graphene nanotubes, for application in medical devices.According to the manufacturer, the addition of a modest quantity of nanotubes (starting from 0.25%) is able to replace 40% of carbon black added to the high-consistency conductive silicone compounds, ensuring volumetric resistivity of less than 100 Ω • cm.There was no release of carbon or other contamination on the surface of the material.Furthermore, the addition of the filler does not affect the softness or elasticity of the silicone and allows to maintain the other mechanical properties, in addition to the workability with standard technologies.The material is supplied as a concentrate compatible with silicone compounds and complies with the EU RoHS Directive.One of the first applications concerns a line of massage instruments using electric impulses destined for the European market.In this application, the ability of the material - formulated by a Chinese company using OCSiAl nanotubes - was exploited to transmit electrical impulses to the human body, maintaining the flexibility and softness properties of silicone in contact with the patient's skin.The graphene nanotube is a carbon structure that can be thought of as a single atom-thick sheet rolled up into a tube.The material is among the best known electrical conductors and is also characterized by mechanical strength and lightness.© Polimerica - Reproduction reservedKRAIBURG TPE is a worldwide manufacturer of thermoplastic elastomers.Established in 2001 as a subsidiary of the KRAIBURG entrepreneurial group, founded in 1947 and with a long tradition, Kraiburg TPE has taken on a pioneering role right from the start.With manufacturing facilities in Germany, USA and Malaysia, the company offers a broad portfolio of compounds for automotive, industrial and consumer goods applications, as well as strictly regulated medical applications.The renowned THERMOLAST®, COPEC®, HIPEX® and For Tec E® product lines are designed to be machined using injection, extrusion and blow molding processes and offer manufacturers countless advantages in terms of processing and product design.The great innovative strength and the proximity to customers from all over the world with customized solutions distinguish Kraiburg TPE and the reliability of its services.The company's headquarters in Germany are ISO 50001 certified and all international locations are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified.
