The graphene nanotube of OCSiAl can enhance the durability and functionality in transparent conductive films.

The international manufacturer of graphene nanotubes OCSiAl has recently reached an important milestone in the consumer electronics industry. In fact, its technologies are now an integral part of advanced, functional and aesthetically pleasing protective films for smartphones, tablets and laptops, guaranteeing stable conductivity, high transparency and exceptional durability without altering standard production processes.

Graphene nanotubes have unique properties, including an extremely high length-to-diameter ratio and a large surface area, enabling these films to maintain a transparency of up to 80% and a haze value of less than 6%. In addition, they provide a stable electrical resistivity of 10^4-10^9 Ω/sq, facilitating dustproofing and touchscreen compatibility.

“Transparent conductive films incorporating graphene nanotubes can now be applied without a primer, streamlining production processes and enhancing cost-efficiency,” has stated Vilson Jiang, Sales Manager for Coatings and Composites at OCSiAl China.

The graphene nanotube-based solutions developed by OCSiAl are also used in various polymer coatings applications, such as ESD flooring, conductive primers, antistatic powder coatings and tank coatings. These innovations are currently being produced in Europe and Asia through partnerships with OEMs, reinforcing the central role iof the company in promoting functional coatings for all industries.
