- Delta Tecnic’s metallic fiber masterbatches enable the production of conductive and coloured plastics, overcoming the limitations of carbon-based technologies.
- This innovation is key in sectors such as automotive and electronics, offering more efficient solutions for interference protection.
Efficiency and electromagnetic protection are becoming increasingly crucial in the plastics industry. That is why, Delta Tecnic a company specialized in the manufacture of masterbatch for the plastics and cable industry, takes a step forward with the launch of its own line of metallic fiber masterbatches. This technology is designed to improve the conductivity of plastics and offer advanced solutions in electromagnetic shielding (EMI Shielding), a key challenge in sectors such as automotive, electronics and telecommunications.
Traditionally, the conductivity of plastics has been based on carbon technology, which limits colour options and restricts conductivity and electromagnetic shielding levels due to the maximum absorption capacity of polymers. Delta Tecnic presents an alternative: the incorporation of metallic fibres into plastic composites. This development makes it possible to create conductive plastics that not only offer higher electromagnetic efficiency, but can also be manufactured in a wide range of colours, something previously unthinkable with carbon-based solutions.
Delta Tecnic’s new metallic fiber masterbatch, composed of 75% metallic fibres and 25% polymer, is dosed directly in the injection or compounding processes. This mixture allows the customer, usually manufacturers of technical compounds, to produce compounds for conductive plastic parts with freedom of colour and allowing the substitution of metal parts for plastic parts, while maintaining the conductive and electromagnetic shielding properties.
