Integral Technologies has introduced a new resin-based, electrically conductive material, called ElectriPlast-CF66, which is designed to meet challenging electro-magnetic shielding, mechanical properties and thermal requirements for applications in aerospace, marine and automotive industries.
The lightweight conductive plastics, ElectriPlast-CF66 is made from nickel-plated carbon fiber and polyamide 66. The cost-effective material is suitable for electromagnetic shielding in engine parts and other adverse conditions in numerous industries. Its superior mechanical strength allows it to tolerate high frequency vibrations, corrosiveness of fluids and ultra-high temperatures.
The ElectriPlast-CF66 is the latest product in Integral Technologies’ ElectriPlast composites line, a portfolio of resin-based, electrically conductive, non-corrosive materials with properties that allow them to be molded with rubbers, plastics and other polymers into any size and shape.
Integral Technologies is continually expanding its portfolio of electrically conductive hybrid plastics for almost every market and every application. According to the Chief Executive Officer at Integral Technologies, the ElectriPlast-CF66 is an outcome of intensified research work and partnership with the company’s OEM customers. Components made from ElectriPlast-CF66 surpassed aluminum at specific frequencies, while offering 50%-60% drop in weight, he added.
The Chief Technology Officer at Integral Technologies, Mo Zeidan stated that the client-assessed product, ElectriPlast-CF66, is admired for its lightweight proposition, functionality, superior mechanical properties and durability. Industries ranging from consumer goods to electronics and automotive are looking for lightweight parts solutions to fulfill the demands of consumers for portable, lightweight products and to comply with stringent greenhouse emissions and government fuel regulations.
