Progressive Fillers & Additives International
The ElectroClad™ line consists of high-performance electrically conductive additives all designed for light weight, high conductivity and high performance. The ElectroClad™ products are widely used across numerous industries, including electronics, solar cells, medical devices, aerospace, elastomers, adhesives, UV coatings, and automotive components. These premium conductive fillers are specifically engineered for polymers, delivering consistent, long-lasting electrical performance in demanding applications with affordability in mind. Renowned for their unique properties and superior quality, ElectroClad™ products are readily available in all volume quantities to meet diverse customer needs.
Other ElectroClad™ applications include Conductive films, Pastes, EMI/RFI Shielding micro applications, Conductive / Shield Flooring, Antistatic carpet, Aerospace, electrically conductive polymers and Adhesives, UV Coatings, Sealants, Caulks, Composites, Reinforced polymers, Cu, Ag, Pd electronic pastes, Ceramic/metal joints, Thermal electrical applications.
As we know traditional nuclear reactors already contain large conductive materials, but “new AI reactors” emphasize efficiency, modularity (e.g., small modular reactors or SMRs), and AI-optimized materials to meet net-zero goals. This is where our light weight Electroclad conductive additives— with high electrical/thermal conductivity—play a key role.
Our Electroclad’s enhance reactor performance by improving heat transfer, electrical efficiency, and material durability. In advanced designs like molten salt reactors (MSRs) or fusion prototypes, they address challenges like extreme temperatures (up to 800°C) and neutron bombardment, which degrade standard materials.
Nuclear reactors generate immense heat, and poor dissipation risks meltdowns or inefficiency. Electroclad like the spherical CSGS 7-10A are mixed into composites for heat exchangers and coolants boosting thermal conductivity by 20-50% in polymer matrices, enabling faster heat extraction
Typically core-shell structures with a non-conductive core (e.g. CSGS 7 A or 10A) infused by a thin silver (Ag) infused layer (10–500 nm)—offer unique properties addressing fission product containment and neutron absorption in SMR’s. In AI-driven electronics, they excel in thermal management for high-heat GPUs/TPUs.
Harsh environments demand conductive, corrosion-resistant Electroclads.
Our CFC line of silver infused fibers elevate UV coatings from basic protection to smart, multifunctional systems—delivering conductivity, antimicrobial action, thermal control, and strength.
They enhance electrical, thermal, optical, and mechanical properties while leveraging UV curing’s speed and eco-friendliness. Silver’s high conductivity (~6.3 × 10^7 S/m) forms percolating networks at low loadings (5–10 vol%), enabling electron flow without full heavy metallic density.
Silver reflects IR (>90% at 800–2500 nm) and UV rays, while the engineered fibers provide structural reinforcement.
In aeronautical composites and coatings, the Electroclad additives provide EMI shielding, lightning strike protection (LSP), and static dissipation—with lower density and better dispersion than solid metal powders.
The high aspect- ratio geometry and our flat, spherical and fibrous lightweight and corrosion free additives deliver high conductivity and low percolation, They are ideal for sprayable EMI coatings, secondary LSP, and ESD primers in CFRP aircraft—balancing performance, weight, and processability.
Progressive Fillers Int’l inc ‘s Conductive Silver Glass Spheres (CSGS) is a highly conductive silver sphere with a dry bulk resistivity of .001 ohms/cm. The CSGS line not only improves compatibility with conductive film and circuit board applications but physically improves impact strength.
Micaclad Conductive Silver Flakes (CSM100) is a highly conductive silver mica with a dry bulk resistivity of .002 ohms/cm. These pure silver platelets have the shielding and conductive properties of solid metal silver with a fraction of the cost. The blanketing effect of silver and the reinforcement advantages of the mineral help provide strength and a stable conductive surface.
Progressive Fillers International offers a solution to the industrial standard dark color of conductive and anti-stat applications by offering our Ag FiberClad. These unique conductive microfibers can be blended into a variety of paints, coatings in any color to create a bright fully conductive or Anti Stat surface. Blending well in UV and water based coatings and sprays delivering a fully conductive application. The Ag FiberClad can be adjusted in both specific gravity and density to fit the project. Having full control – designing the weight, dimensions and over all parameters of the fiber, gives the customer full control over their original design and cost.
Progressive Fillers Int’l inc ‘s Conductive Hollow Glass Spheres (CHS) is a very low density highly conductive hollow silver sphere with a crush strength of > 8,000 psi. The CHS is engineered to resist oxidation and cost effectively improve conductive applications, with its stable performance and low resistivity of .001 it is easily combined with a variety of applications including paint and coatings.
Optimum heat resistance. As used in the AL-TOOL™ in our Specialty Additives, the Micaclad Aluminum is designed to give optimum resistance to heat, fatigue and distortion of vacuum form tooling surfaces
