Electrically Conductive Materials
Antimony Tin Oxide (ATO) and ATO-Coated Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) are electroconductive materials, available in acicular and spherical shapes, that enable highly conductive clear, white, and colored coatings, plastics, adhesives and more.
Formulators know the challenge of balancing additive properties when formulating conductive materials, such as coatings, plastics and other end-use applications. Alternate materials can make electroconductivity difficult to customize and may provide poor stability and inconsistent conductivity performance.
Using ATO-based additives addresses these challenges. Featuring both ATO and ATO-coated TiO2, Nagase supplies functional materials with higher conductivity, greater stability, and excellent non-migratory anti-static performance—and can require less additive per formulation when compared to traditional alternatives.

Benefits:
ATO and ATO-coated TiO2 enable formulations with a wide range of advantages, with limited impact on other performance attributes. View the table below to learn about each material’s unique benefits.
Antimony Tin Oxide (ATO):
- Higher conductivity with less additive required (acicular)
- Excellent transparency due to fine particle size
- High absorbability of NIR (near infrared) rays
ATO-Coated TiO2:
- Higher conductivity with less additive required (acicular)
- Heat, physical and chemical stability
- Gives high brightness (L*) to formulations
- Excellent stability of conductivity under various dispersion strengths, enabling customizable formulation
- Constant electroconductivity against humidity change and permanent anti-static properties
