PRINTEX kappa 70 for conductive Plastics Applications
PRINTEX kappa 70 provides superior conductivity already at lower concentration than most of previously listed Carbon Black in the fi eld of conductive blacks. 
This improved percolation threshold is now closing the gap between Highly Conductive Black XPB 538 and other regular Conductive Black such as HIBLACK 40B2. 
At the same time the influence on rheology and mechanical properties of final parts was maintained on an excellently well-balanced level. 
During the phase of PRINTEX kappa 70 product development specific attention was turned on good
processability since necessary pigment loading at desired high output rates often delimits efficient yield production.
All in all we release a high conductive Carbon Black with outstanding conductive overall performance. 

PRINTEX kappa 70 is qualified as an universal conductive pigment performing excellent in almost all regular electrically conductive plastic compounds and conductive applications.
PRINTEX kappa 70 can be used in most significant polymer types such as polyolefi n, co-polymers, polyvinyl chloride, high-impact polystyrene, polyamide and others. 
It is targeted for injection molded parts such as fuel canisters, boxes, housings for electrical goods, carrier trays of electronic devices, and is working just as well in extruded electrically conductive pipes, profiles, blown- and cast-films.
Further target industries are areas with explosive risks, e.g. conductive hoses for the mining industry or ATEX environment (explosion protection), carpet backs and antistatic flooring and many articles for the automotive industry.

Specialty Carbon Black PRINTEX kappa 70 BEADS are specifically geared for thermoplastics requiring conductivity and anti-static properties. 
Universally conductive, PRINTEX kappa 70 BEADS excel in almost all conductive plastic compounding processes and end-use applications.

Suitable in polypropylene, polycarbonate and its alloys, a broad range of engineering polymers, polyolefins, styrenics, polyvinyl chloride, other significant polymer types, PRINTEX kappa 70 BEADS impart excellent dispersion quality, compound melt flow, and mechanical strength. 
This conductive black enables thermoplastic compounders to attain target conductivities at low carbon black concentrations and allows converters to realize an excellent balance of conductivity and mechanical properties for their applications.

PRINTEX kappa 70 BEADS are ideally suited for plastic auto body parts that require conductivity to ensure trouble-free, electrostatic spray coating. 
This conductive black is also suited for injection-molded parts such as fuel canisters, electronics carrier boxes, electronics housings, and heat-aging trays, and for extruded conductive pipes, profiles and packaging films.

Printex kappa 70 is suitable for the conductor shield.

In injection-molded parts, the universally conductive Printex kappa 70 beads are specifically geared for compounds and end uses requiring conductivity and anti-static properties.  

Printex kappa 70 beads are suitable in polypropylene, polycarbonate and its alloys, a broad range of engineering polymers, polyolefins, styrenics, polyvinyl chloride, and other significant polymer types. 
They also impart excellent dispersion quality, compound melt flow, and mechanical strength. 
This conductive black enables thermoplastic compounders to attain target conductivities at low carbon black concentrations, and it allows converters to effectively balance conductivity and mechanical properties in their applications.

Storage Conditions:
The high surface area of Specialty Carbon Blacks bears the inherent risk of adsorption of vapors and/or gases, which in turn impacts the product’s application relevant properties. 
It is therefore recommended to always store Specialty Carbon Blacks out of reach of potential contaminants and sources of contamination. 
Storage temperatures should not exceed 50 °C.
Carbon Black should be stored under cool and dry conditions. 
Densifi cation or adsorption processes etc. may adversely affect the product’s application relevant properties. 
This also applies to storage in silos or other closed containers.
