Abstract

Content: Electrostatic dissipation is a growing trend for automotive fuel system connections. The FKM elastomeric O-Ring seal is a critical part for the conductive pathway. Providing this conductivity through the incorporation of carbon nanotubes vastly improves properties over conductive carbon blacks. This results in a softer O-Ring seal, improved possessing, enhanced permeation resistance and stable electrical properties.
