Carbon-filled nylon & polypropylene — stiffer, lighter, static-dissipative

About carbon-filled resins

Adding carbon to a base resin raises stiffness and strength, cuts weight compared to glass-filled grades, improves wear, and can make the part static-dissipative or conductive. Nylon is the most common base and the one we supply most. Polypropylene is a lower-cost option where heat and load are moderate. Send us the base resin, fill level and what the part has to do, and we will price it or a matching grade.
