HYPERION OFFERS FIVE NEW THERMOPLASTIC MASTERBATCHES WITH FIBRIL(TM) CONDUCTIVE CARBON NANOTUBES
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – April 11, 2002 – Hyperion Catalysis International, the world’s only tonnage producer of carbon nanotubes, announced today that it has added five resin families of commercial-quantity thermoplastic masterbatches containing FIBRIL™ multi-walled carbon nanotubes to the company’s product offering. This high aspect ratio, curvilinear form of graphitic carbon confers electrical conductivity at lower loadings than other conductive additives when compounded with otherwise-insulating materials such as thermoplastics. All masterbatches are supplied in pellet form, in either drum or gaylord quantities. Processors can vary the letdown ratio on the masterbatches to optimize the conductivity level of a molded plastic part to meet its end-use application requirements.
