Company Profile

Neste Corporation, nowadays Fortum, began R&D with conductive polymers in 1982. Intensive research continued until 1998, partly in cooperation with California based Uniax. Neste protected the new technology with several international patents and also acquired 1994 the polyaniline technology developed by Uniax. In 1998 Panipol Ltd was established as a spin-of from Neste. All polyaniline technology was transferred to Panipol and Neste remained as a minority shareholder of Panipol.
 
Panipol Oy manufactures Inherently Conductive Polymer polyaniline and polyaniline based products.
 
Main products manufactured are:
  • Polyaniline Emeraldine Base (EB) and salt
  • Melt processable polyaniline Panipol CX and dry mixable masterbatch Panipol DX
  • Coatings systems and inks
 
Panipol CX and DX systems for ESD protection
 
Panipol melt processable polyaniline products are made both for compounding as well as fro dry mixing ( master batch).
 
The primary application area for these products is ESD protection with these main features:
  • resistivity is well adjustable within the range between E4-E8 Ohm/sq
  • non-black products can be made
  • well thermoformable sheets
 
Panipol coating systems and inks
 
Panipol makes a wide range of polyaniline based coating materials and inks for coating and printing applications. These applications include standard industrial applications such as ESD protective coatings but also printable electronic inks.
 
Besides the various base solvents (including water) multiple dopant options and combinations of binders are available.
