Cabot corporation expands advanced carbons portfolio with new athlos™ carbon nanostructures for engineered polymers

Cabot corporation announced that it has expanded its current portfolio of advanced carbons to include the new athlos™ carbon nanostructures (cns), a family of unique materials, consisting of a network of crosslinked carbon nanotubes manufactured using a proprietary process. athlos cns are cabot’s latest innovative advanced carbons solution to help customers better respond to the premium performance demands of next generation plastic applications by enabling an optimal balance of electromagnetic interference (emi) shielding, conductivity, mechanical strength and processability. new developments in market segments such as automotive, aerospace, defense, telecommunications and electronics are driving requirements for emi shielding in a range of frequencies and forms. athlos cns deliver unmatched emi shielding performance relative to other carbon additives. the addition of athlos cns to emi shielding solutions enables significant light-weighting and miniaturization advantages by replacing or reducing the loading of traditional metal-based alternatives. additionally, using athlos cns can improve industrial hygiene compared to other conductive carbon additives by reducing dust contamination during processing.
