Graphene nanotubes impart electrical conductivity to FKM rubber components, enabling the safe dissipation of electrostatic charge. This ensures compliance with ATEX and IECEx requirements while protecting people, equipment, and products. Such materials are well suited for use in explosive environments, automotive and electric vehicles, industrial conveying systems, medical equipment, packaging, aerospace, robotics, and the electronics and semiconductor industries.
Rubber components enhanced with graphene nanotubes show anti-static and ESD-protective performance that remains effective even after exposure to heat or fuel aging. They also demonstrate improved mechanical strength, extending service life and reducing material waste during the demolding process. The clean, carbon-free surface of antistatic rubbers with nanotubes expands application opportunities and simplifies handling.
FKM rubber industrial parts are widely used in areas that require extreme heat, chemical, or weather resistance. Fluoroelastomer provides exceptional resistance to high temperatures, fuels, oils, and aggressive chemicals, making it ideal for automotive, oil & gas, and chemical processing applications. It maintains mechanical integrity and sealing performance even under prolonged thermal and chemical exposure. Conductive rubber elastomers are used in production in areas with automated systems and sensors where color and electrostatic properties are required. Such FKM delivers a significantly longer service life and greater stability in critical industrial sealing and protection systems.
Rubber parts enhanced with TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes demonstrate improved durability and mechanical stability, particularly at elevated temperatures. This enhanced performance is critical in applications where components are exposed to heat sources, aggressive fluids, combustion processes, or high-friction environments.
TUBALL™ MATRIX 600 series is a line of concentrates based on polymer carriers with pre-dispersed TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes, specifically developed for elastomer applications. Designed for incorporation during the rubber compounding stage, these concentrates enable uniform nanotube distribution while preserving standard processing conditions. They are fully compatible with conventional rubber manufacturing methods, including molding and extrusion, allowing the production of complex shapes and long-profile geometries without modifying existing equipment or processes.
