ElectroPhen: a plastic that conducts electricity
ElectroPhen® is a plastic that's a billion times more electrically conductive than other polymers or resins.
ElectroPhen is made by mixing readily available, low cost materials in a low temperature, low energy process.
Bac2 develops and markets products based on ElectroPhen by mixing it with materials such as graphite, metal powders, plasticisers and reinforcers. Today, the main applications for these products are as in fuel cells for production of clean energy, and in electronics. In fuel cells, ElectroPhen is an ideal material for the manufacture of bi-polar plates.
In electrical and electronic applications, ElectroPhen’s low cost and versatility make it an ideal replacement for both metals and polymers. It can be used to create electrodes, rigid or flexible substrates that can be printed or spin-coated, and even electromagnetic shielding layers. It may also be used to produce moulded heat sinks and conformal heating elements. The possibilities are endless.
ElectroPhen products can be very thin, flexible sheets of conductive material, large solid blocks, or any other shape and size that can be moulded or extruded. The material's characteristics are easily fine-tuned for each application to obtain the ideal balance of conductivity, flexibility and dimensional format.
Most importantly, ElectroPhen-based formulations are easily scalable for economical mass production.
