Conductive PPO/Nylon handles powder coating.


The first in a new family of conductive conductive

having the quality of readily conducting electric current.


conductive flooring
flooring or floor covering made specially conductive to electrical current, usually by the inclusion of copper wiring that is earthed
 PPO/nylon blends has been optimized for powder coating Powder coating is a type of dry coating, which is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension  in applications such as office furniture, marine components, and nonautomotive transportation.

 674PC from GE Plastics, Pittsfield, Mass., contains conductive fillers to ensure electrostatic Stationary electrical charges in which no current flows. For example, laser printers and copier machines place a positive charge of the image on a drum, and negatively charged toner is attracted onto the drum. The toner is then transferred to positively charged paper and fused to the paper by heat.  attraction of the powder coating. The material withstands the curing temperatures of current powder coating processes.

Unlike conventional plastics that require an electrostatic primer or metals that must be chemically degreased, parts made of the GE resin may only require only washing prior to powder coating. Parts molded of Noryl GTX 674PC can be powder coated together with metal parts, reducing costs and avoiding a color mismatch. Tel: (800) 845-0600 * www.geplastics.com
