Leading cable manufacturers set targets like reducing CO2 emissions and boosting energy efficiency, requiring precise data from the supply chain.

Toppi Oy needed a new material to replace the electrically conductive PVC in their medical hoses. Premix's PRE-ELEC® material proved to be the perfect solution!

A plastics packaging producer in the automotive industry required an efficient and cost-effective solution for their ESD polypropylene boxes, which are used by a leading car manufacturer. Read the whole story!

The year 2021 was, among other things, a year of data. Looking at the scope and quality of the information we nowadays have at an arm's reach, it isn't easy to imagine how we ever managed to live without it. Here is a summary of our "datachievements" up to this point.

This article discusses the processing and use of Premix’s electrically conductive plastics in the injection molding process. The electrically conductive PRE-ELEC® grades can be successfully molded with normal processing equipment. However, the processing conditions require particular attention due to their significant effect on the resistivity of the molded product.

This article covers some fundamentals, practical tips, and pitfalls related to the resistance and resistivity measurements of electrically conductive plastics. To achieve the most precise outcome, it is essential that you understand the basic measurement procedure and the key factors causing uncertainties in measurements. In this way, the probability of errors will be decreased, and analyzing the outcome of the measurement will be easier.

This post takes a look at the key element of conductive compounds – carbon black – and how it is used for creating the perfect compound mix.
