OCCA Weekly Webinar - Graphene Nanotubes for Coatings: Electrical Conductivity Without Compromising Color or Performance
Venue: Webinar
Date: Wednesday 2nd December 2026
Time: 14:30 – 15:30
OCCA Weekly Webinars Series 20 continues with "Graphene Nanotubes for Coatings: Electrical Conductivity Without Compromising Color or Performance" presented by Fabio Tombolato of OCSiAl. The webinar will take place via Zoom on Wednesday 2 December at 2:30pm.
Abstract:
OCSiAl's TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes offer an advanced solution for coatings, delivering uniform, permanent electrical conductivity at ultralow loadings starting from just 0.01 wt.%. Unlike conventional additives, they enable greater formulation flexibility while preserving mechanical properties, color versatility, and long-term performance. This webinar explores ready-to-use TUBALL™ solutions for epoxy, polyurethane, acrylic, polyester, and UV-cured coatings. Through practical examples and industrial case studies covering ESD flooring, tank linings, gelcoats, powder coatings, textile coatings, and protective coatings, participants will discover how graphene nanotubes overcome conventional material limitations and deliver reliable antistatic performance without compromising key coating properties.
