Xenia’s portfolio of conductive materials dedicated to the chemical process industry includes formulations developed on HDPE, PP, and PVDF polymer base.
Designed to withstand chemically aggressive fluids, high temperatures and potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX-certified and static-dissipative environments), this new range of thermoplastic composites delivers outstanding chemical resistance, thermal stability and electrical conductivity up to 10e-2 ohm*m (volumetric resistivity), ensuring reliable performance in demanding chemical processing and industrial environments.
Conductive HDPE
The combination of HDPE and carbon fibre results in a highly electrically conductive composite that offers an excellent balance between mechanical strength, electrical dissipation and chemical resistance.
This material is particularly suited for components requiring mechanical performances and controlled electrical conductivity in industrial applications such as piping systems and infrastructure, and insulation or protection components.
Conductive PP
Xenia’s PP-based compounds are designed to enhance stiffness, mechanical strength and electrical conductivity while preserving the polymer’s inherent chemical resistance.
Available with different carbon fibre reinforcement levels (10%, 20%, and 30%), they deliver an optimal balance between electrical conductivity and mechanical robustness, making them ideal for technical parts such as tanks, storage vessels, piping systems and infrastructure.
Conductive PVDF
Compared to neutral PVDF, Xenia’s PVDF-based compounds offer permanent electrical conductivity (down to 10e-2 ohm*m), ensuring stable antistatic performance over time (ATEX Compliance) while preserving PVDF’s exceptional chemical resistance.
Their V0 fire resistance rating enhances safety, while improved UV resistance extends durability, even in demanding outdoor environments.
These materials are suitable for producing pumps, valves, sensors and cables in contact with fluids, as well as components for batteries and electronic devices.
