This conductive carbon paint is a single-component, ready-to-use formulation designed for applications requiring electrical conductivity and flexibility. It features specially processed carbon particles dispersed in a fluoroelastomer resin, offering excellent adhesion and oxidation resistance on a wide range of surfaces, including metals, ceramics, and plastics.

The coating remains flexible even under extreme temperature conditions and forms a stable conductive layer without the need for heat curing. It is particularly suitable for SEM sample grounding, ESD protection, EMI shielding, and other conductive coating needs.

General Properties

Solvent: Isopropanol-based system with MEK (methyl ethyl ketone)
Solids Content: Approximately 13%
Film Color: Matte black
Film Type: Dry film, semi-flexible
Average Coating Thickness: Approx. 2.0 mils (50 µm)
Shelf Life: 1 year (unopened, stored properly)

Application Recommendations

This carbon paint can be applied using brush, dip, spray, or flow coating techniques. The fluid consistency allows easy handling, and acetone may be used as a thinner or cleaning agent.

For best results:

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or particulates.
Apply in a well-ventilated area, using appropriate PPE.
Stir gently before use; avoid introducing air bubbles.

Curing Conditions

Air-dry: Touch dry in approximately 15 minutes
Full cure at room temperature: ~30 minutes
Optional bake: 150°C for 15 minutes to enhance coating durability and reduce resistivity

Electrical Properties

Volume Resistivity: Approximately 2.5 ohm·cm (typical)
Surface Resistivity: ~50–100 ohms/square (depending on thickness and substrate)

Thermal Properties

Operating Temperature Range: –40°C to +260°C
The coating remains stable and conductive across this wide thermal range, making it ideal for use in high-performance environments.

Storage & Handling

Store between 5°C and 40°C (41°F to 104°F)
Do not freeze
Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to avoid solvent evaporation
Use only with adequate ventilation
Avoid inhalation of vapors and prolonged skin contact

Safety Information

Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full details on handling, first aid, and disposal. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and ensure proper ventilation during use.

This conductive carbon paint is a reliable choice for SEM preparation, electronics, EMI shielding, and grounding applications, offering durable conductivity without introducing interfering metal signals—especially useful in EDX analysis or sensitive imaging environments.
