Conductive POM far exceeds standard for fuel delivery systems

摘要

Bosch has been quick to realise the potential of BASF's new carbon nanotuberncontaining polyoxymethylene (POAA) for automotive fuel filtration and deliveryrnsystems where it actually exceeds the requirements of the current standard forrnspecific resistance by no less than four orders of magnitudernBASF is believed to be among the first in the industry to introduce an engineering polymer containing carbon nanotubes for the automotive component market. Now available in commercial quantities throughout the world, the material - Ultraform N2320 C - is a polyoxymethylene (POM) that, with additives, acquires a high level of electrical conductivity without compromising its essential properties of toughness and dimensional stability.
