Conductive Carbon Paints and Pastes
Carbon conductive paints and pastes offer a lower-cost alternative to silver for grounding SEM specimens where maximum conductivity is not required, and are also used as a conductive cement for mounting samples onto stubs.

Overview
Carbon conductive paints and pastes offer a lower-cost alternative to silver for grounding SEM specimens where maximum conductivity is not required, and are also used as a conductive cement for mounting samples onto stubs. The range includes ready-to-use carbon conductive paint and paste in tube form, plus a matched thinner. Carbon paint is generally sufficient for basic charge dissipation but is less conductive than silver or platinum paint and may not suit applications requiring electroplating-grade conductivity.
Carbon Paint & Paste
Carbon Conductive Paint and Carbon Conductive Paste both provide charge dissipation for SEM imaging at lower cost than silver-filled products. A dedicated thinner is available to adjust viscosity for brushing.
