TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes are applied via easy-to-use TUBALL™ MATRIX, a line of anti-static masterbatches based on polymer carriers and pre-dispersed TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes.

TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes, also known as single wall carbon nanotubes, can be used in the production of PVC plastisol systems in compliance with the following standards and recommendations: ANSI/ESD STM2.1, Directive 1994/9/EC and ATEX Directive 95, EN 1149, EN 61340, EN 16350, GOST (ГОСТ) 19616, GOST (ГОСТ) 12.4.124, etc.

Anti-static PVC plastisol systems with TUBALL™ nanotubes are widely adopted for:

• Textiles
• Ventilation ducting
• Mesh for mining applications
• Conveyor belts, including treadmill belts

Benefits provided by TUBALL™ MATRIX for PVC-plastisol: 

• Ultralow dosage starting from just 0.05 wt.% TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes*
• Maintains good balance of mechanical properties
• Permanent, stable, uniform electrical resistivity without “hot spots”
• Can be applied with various
  fabrication technologies: dipping,
  molding, coating, and others
• Allows production of conductive parts that retain colors
• Low dosage gives greater flexibility in the final formulation
• Ease of application and low dosage makes logistics less complex and more efficient
• Production without carbon dust

*Dosages may vary depending on the formulation, processing, and products.

For PVC-plastisol systems, TUBALL™ MATRIX 814 should be used.
