Product Description

Overview of Active Carbon

Conductive carbon black is a specialized form of carbon black, engineered specifically to enhance the electrical conductivity of materials it is incorporated into. Unlike regular carbon black, which is primarily used as a reinforcing filler and pigment, conductive carbon black features a unique particle structure and surface chemistry that facilitates electron flow, making it indispensable in applications requiring static dissipation, electrostatic control, or improved performance in electronic and electrical devices.

Features of Active Carbon

  1. Enhanced Conductivity: Provides a network for electron movement within a material, turning an insulator into a conductor or semi-conductor.

  2. Low Loading Levels: Effective at low concentrations, minimizing impact on the host material's properties, such as viscosity, weight, and color.

  3. Particle Size and Structure: Specifically engineered with smaller particle sizes and higher structure, optimizing conductivity pathways.

  4. Stability: Resistant to chemical and environmental degradation, ensuring consistent performance over time and in varying conditions.

  5. Versatility: Compatible with a wide range of matrices, including polymers, resins, adhesives, and coatings.

Parameter of Active Carbon

The Active Carbon Parameter is a useful tool in the field of air quality analysis to measure the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air. It can be used to determine whether the air is clean or, and it is often used as a threshold for determining pollution levels. In general, the Active Carbon Parameter measures the concentration of CO2 in the air by using an activated carbon filter that adsorbs carbon dioxide from the air. The filter captures the carbon dioxide, and the concentration of the adsorbate (carbon) is then measured. The Active Carbon Parameter can be expressed as a percentage of total particulate matter (PM) mass. For example, if the Active Carbon Parameter in a given sample of air is 5%, then it means that 5% of the total PM mass in the air was adsorbed by the activated carbon filter. This parameter is commonly used in conjunction with other air quality indices such as the Particulate Matter Index (PM10), which measures the concentration of fine particles in the air, and the nitrogen dioxide index (NO2), which measures the concentration of nitrogen dioxide in the air. These indices are used to determine the overall health impact of air pollution on human health and the environment.

FAQs of Active Carbon

Q: How does Active Carbon differ from regular carbon black? A: Active Carbon is designed with specific properties to enhance electrical conductivity, whereas regular carbon black is mainly used for reinforcement and pigmentation without a primary focus on conductivity.

Q: What factors influence the conductivity of a material when using Active Carbon? A: Particle size, structure, concentration, and dispersion quality significantly impact conductivity. Smaller particles and better dispersion lead to more efficient electron paths and increased conductivity.

Q: Can Active Carbon be used in any polymer? A: While it is versatile, compatibility tests are necessary to ensure it works effectively with each specific polymer type, as certain polymers may require customization for optimal performance.

Q: Is Active Carbon safe to handle? A: Like other carbon blacks, it is generally safe when handled properly. However, appropriate dust control measures should be in place due to its fine particle size, which can become airborne and pose a respiratory risk.

Q: Does adding Active Carbon change the mechanical properties of a material? A: At low loading levels, the impact on mechanical properties is usually minimal. However, at higher concentrations required for certain high-conductivity applications, changes in properties such as stiffness, elongation, and color may occur.
