Nickel-free Conductive Fillers (1001-815)

Triton Systems Inc. proposes a 12 month effort to optimize a production process, scale up to production volumes, and validate material performance through pre-qualification testing of a Nickel free conductive filler. The technology eliminates Nickel completely from the current filler product by using a specialized process to deposit conductive and corrosion resistant metals onto a base particle. In this proposed program, Triton will continue to partner with an end user to test the current and proposed filler performance. This effort will advance the development of a Nickel free conductive filler system from TRL 4 to TRL 6 so that qualification trials can be performed on the filler followed by implementation of the technology. The program has been designed to minimize risk by making as few changes as possible to the current filler product. This filler product will be developed for use with current resin systems to minimize impact to the mixing, curing and application processes already in use.
