Specialty Compounds for Hazardous and Explosive Environments Technical Brief

[cover shot]

RTP Company has developed a line of conductive compounds for applications that must meet the strict requirements outlined in both the ATEX Directive (94/9/EC), IECEx Scheme, and EN 50014. To be compliant, plastic parts in equipment and protective systems which may be used in areas endangered by potentially explosive atmospheres must meet demanding requirements pertaining to isolation resistance, UV stability, temperature resistance, impact properties, chemical resistance, and flammability.

RTP Company has extensive experience with conductive modifiers, thermoplastic resins and additives. This breadth of expertise allows the company to offer a wide range of products for ATEX compliant applications. These products include: carbon fiber compounds, carbon nanotube compounds, inherently conductive polymer compounds, carbon black filled compounds, and permanently antistatic compounds.
