Graphistrength® C W1-20 is a Multi Wall carbon Nanotubes (MWNT) masterbatch that contains perfectly dispersed MWNT at a concentration of 20% by weight.

Graphistrength® C W1-20 is suited for the production of electrically conductive water-based formulations.  It is based on a non-ionic water-soluble polymer that makes it compatible with most pH sensitive formulations.  This masterbatch is intended for use in electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection or mechanical reinforcement of composite structures.

Graphistrength® C W1-20 is generally diluted in various liquid bases of water-based formulations.  Typical final MWNT loadings in the final formulations are in the range 0.1 to 2 wt% depending on the host matrix characteristics, the targeted performances, processing methods and conditions.

The typical electrical resistivity that can be achieved is in the range of 10² -10⁸  ohm.cm, depending on MWNT loading and formulation.  The ESD properties obtained with Graphistrength® C W1-20 are outstandingly consistent and uniform.

Graphistrength® C W1-20 offers particular advantages for the formulation control due to high concentration of MWNT.  It also offers a process advantage, with the possibility to efficiently introduce MWNT using conventional mixing equipment, such as impeller or high-shear mixer.  Graphistrength® C W1-20 is particularly suited for water-based paints, coatings and composites applications.
