Electrically conductive additives play an essential role in a wide range of plastic compounds, extending from wire and cable, through technical housings, to packaging for electrical and electronic items. Enhancing the conductivity of a polymer compound provides functions such as electrostatic dissipation (ESD) protection or, at higher levels, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding capabilities. It is very much an in-demand material characteristic.
