Foils, gaskets & seals
Carbon solutions for foils, gaskets and seals
We are the go-to name among polymer compounders serving the conductive plastics, rubber, coating and paints or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) markets. We tailor solutions to enable customers to achieve the properties they are looking for, including electrical and thermal conductivity, lubrication, durability and surface consistency.
Our ENSACOⓇ brand of carbon blacks are the ideal additives for achieving electrical conductivity in polymer compounds, especially used in the production of electronic packaging, power cables, antistatic films, conductive flooring, liners for automotive fuel hoses, anti-vibration systems, industrial parts for explosive environments and electromagnetic shielding.
If you are looking for additives to make your polymer compound thermally conductive, both our TIMREXⓇ and TIMREXⓇ C-THERM™graphite powders and cokes are ideal solutions for polymer compounds typically used in the production of heat exchangers, heat sinks for LED or electronic parts, seals and gaskets, friction parts, polymer parts used in high operating temperatures, gas barrier membranes, self-lubricating seals and special pigments.
