Electrically Conductive and Antistatic Smart Powder Coating

IBAGROUND

IBAGROUND is a range of specialty powder coating solutions developed to provide electrical conductivity to surfaces that are traditionally insulating. Depending on the application requirements, it is available in two versions: Conductive (C) and Antistatic/ESD (S). Conductive (C) coatings can transform insulating surfaces such as glass, SMC and MDF into electrically conductive surfaces and can be used for EMI/RFI electromagnetic shielding in electronic applications. Antistatic/ESD (S) coatings help safely dissipate accumulated static charges from the surface, supporting the protection of sensitive electronic components against electrostatic discharge.IBAGROUND can be produced using various binder systems, including polyester, epoxy, epoxy-polyester and polyurethane.

General Properties

  • Conductive (C): Electrical surface resistance < 0.75 × 10⁶ Ω/sq @ 100 V
  • Antistatic/ESD (S): Electrical surface resistance 0.75 × 10⁶ – 999 × 10⁶ Ω/sq @ 100 V
  • Provides electrical conductivity to insulating surfaces
  • Conductive (C) and Antistatic/ESD (S) options
  • Suitable for EMI/RFI electromagnetic shielding applications
  • Helps reduce the accumulation of electrostatic charges
  • Excellent physical properties and surface integrity
  • Available with different binder systems
