A wide variety of conductive paints with a wide range of applications

Conductive paint, also known as anti-electromagnetic interference shielding paint, refers to the use of conductive metal powder added to specific resin raw materials to make paint that can be sprayed. Conductive paint has the characteristics of good adhesion, good electromagnetic wave shielding effect, good conductivity, and green environmental protection. It is widely used in power systems, electronic and electrical, aerospace, printing, petrochemical and other fields.

The raw materials of conductive paint include graphene, copper powder, silver powder, nickel powder, aluminum powder, dispersant, thickener, preservative, antioxidant and organic solvents represented by methyl ethyl ketone and xylene. Graphene has the advantages of good mechanical properties and high electron mobility, and is an emerging raw material for conductive paint.

There are many types of conductive paint. According to different application materials, conductive paint can be divided into two types: doped type and intrinsic type. The doped type can be subdivided into graphite conductive paint, carbon-based conductive paint, metal-based conductive paint, metal oxide conductive paint and nanotubes. Conductive paint, etc.; according to different uses, it can be divided into conductive paint for radiation shielding, conductive paint for electrochromic coatings, conductive paint for conductors, and conductive paint for photoconductive coatings. At present, metal-based conductive paints represented by nickel conductive paint, silver-copper conductive paint and pure silver conductive paint are the mainstream products in the market.

According to the “China Conductive Paint Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report 2023-2028 released by the Industrial Research Center, conductive paint Paint is mainly used in power systems, electronic and electrical, aerospace, printing, petrochemical and other fields. In the field of power systems, conductive paint can be used to protect transmission networks; in the field of electronics and electrical, conductive paint can prevent electromagnetic interference and can be used to spray radio electronic devices; in the field of aerospace, conductive paint has antistatic functions and can be used to spray aircraft radomes .
