Formulators know the challenge of balancing additive properties when formulating conductive materials, such as coatings, plastics and other end-use applications. Alternate materials can make electroconductivity difficult to customize and may provide poor stability and inconsistent conductivity performance. Using ATO-based additives addresses these challenges. Featuring both ATO and ATO-coated TiO2, Nagase supplies functional materials with higher
