Plastics Applications of PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS:
PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS provides superior conductivity already at lower concentration than most of previously listed Carbon Black in the field of conductive blacks.
This improved percolation threshold is now closing the gap between Orion´s Highly Conductive Black XPB 538 and other regular Conductive Black such as HIBLACK® 40B2.
At the same time the influence on rheology and mechanical properties of final parts was maintained on an excellently well-balanced level.
During the phase of PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS product development specific attention was turned on good processability since necessary pigment loading at desired high output rates often delimits efficient yield production.
All in all we release a high conductive Carbon Black with outstanding conductive overall performance.

Description of PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS:
Specialty Carbon Black PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS are specifically geared for thermoplastics requiring conductivity and anti-static properties.
Universally conductive, PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS excel in almost all conductive plastic compounding processes and end-use applications.
Suitable in polypropylene, polycarbonate and its alloys, a broad range of engineering polymers, polyolefins, styrenics, polyvinyl chloride, other significant polymer types, PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS impart excellent dispersion quality, compound melt flow, and mechanical strength.
This conductive black enables thermoplastic compounders to attain target conductivities at low carbon black concentrations and allows converters to realize an excellent balance of conductivity and mechanical properties for their applications.
PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS are ideally suited for plastic auto body parts that require conductivity to ensure trouble-free, electrostatic spray coating.
This conductive black is also suited for injection-molded parts such as fuel canisters, electronics carrier boxes, electronics housings, and heat-aging trays, and for extruded conductive pipes, profiles and packaging films.
PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS are designed for use in PE 100 and PE 4710 pipe for gas and water distribution in the Americas, EMEA, and the Asia Pacific region.
The high chemical purity, a very low sulfur level, and the physical cleanliness of PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS minimize taste and odor effects.
Low compound moisture absorption and excellent microscopic dispersion performance ensure a smooth, defect-free pipe that meets potable water pipe standards.
In addition, PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS provide superb UV protection for long-term stability.
This UV resistance, combined with excellent dispersion attributes, make PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS an excellent option in outdoor, engineered-polymer applications such as electrical and electronic housings, air conditioning and generator pads, and utility vehicles.

HANDLING AND STORAGE OF PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS:
Advice on safe handling :
Avoid PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS contact with eyes and skin.
Do not inhale dust.
Ensure sufficient ventilation and extraction at processing machines and locations where dust may form.
Use no brooms or compressed air to avoid raising dust.
Fine dust may cause electrical short circuiting or penetrate into electrical devices that are not completely sealed.
Take measures to prevent electrostatic charging.
If work under hot conditions is unavoidable (welding, torch cutting, etc.), the working area must be kept as free as possible of soot product and dust.
Provide sufficient ventilation and exhaust at the workplace.
In closed containers such as silos or poorly ventilated store rooms, carbon monoxide may be present.
For this reason, sources of ignition should be kept clear and respiratory equipment independent of surrounding air should be worn as a precautionary measure.
When repairs of the production system are to be made (e.g. welding work), the section to be repaired must be essentially free of product.
Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.
Keep PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS away from sources of ignition - No smoking.
Conditions for safe storage :
Store PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS cool and dry in a well-ventilated location.
Keep PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS away from heat and ignition sources.
Do not store PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS together with strong oxidants.
Do not store PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS together with volatile compounds, since they may be adsorbed.
Store PRINTEX KAPPA 70 BEADS in correctly labelled containers.
Carbon black is not classifiable as a Division 4.2 self-heating substance under the UN test criteria.
However, the UN criteria for determining if a substance is self-heating is volume dependent, i.e., the auto-ignition temperature decreases with increasing volume.
This classification may not be appropriate for large volume storage containers.
Before entering closed vessels and confined spaces containing carbon black test for adequate oxygen, flammable gases and potential toxic air contaminants (e.g., CO).
Follow standard safe practices when entering confined spaces.
