MaterialAntistatic & Conductive Filaments
Thunderon Conductive Fiber
Conductive synthetic fiber
Thunderon is a conductive fiber: acrylic or nylon with copper sulfide bonded into its surface, so the conductive layer is part of the fiber, not a coating. Very fine and soft, it removes static from electronics, film, optics and printing surfaces. It needs an electrically continuous holder and a verified ground.
What is Thunderon?
A trade-name conductive fiber with a copper sulfide layer 300–1,000 Å thick chemically bonded into the fiber surface. It is supplied in 0.07 mm and 0.11 mm diameters, with a specific resistance of about 10¹–10² Ω/cm, and is used at free trims of about 3–100 mm.
Where is it used?
In our range, in the anti-static printing brush. It also suits static-sensitive dust removal on electronics, film and optical surfaces, where a fine, soft, highly conductive fiber is wanted.
How hot can it run?
Continuous service to about 80°C, with a short-term peak of about 110°C. The carrier fiber sets that limit, not the conductive layer.
What does it need to work?
An electrically continuous holder and a verified path to earth. Resistance is a property of the finished brush, not of the fiber, so the assembly is checked once built.
Where does it fall short?
It is a soft static-control fiber, not an abrasive or scrubbing fill, and its heat limit is low compared with carbon fiber.
What should you tell us?
The surface, the static problem, the holder and ground point, the trim length you need, and the operating temperature. If you have a resistance target for the finished brush, include it.
Questions buyers ask about Thunderon Conductive Fiber
What is Thunderon fiber?
An acrylic or nylon fiber with copper sulfide bonded into its surface, making the fiber itself conductive rather than coated.
How hot can a Thunderon brush run?
About 80°C continuous and 110°C short-term; the carrier fiber sets the limit.
Thunderon or carbon fiber?
Both remove static well. Thunderon is soft and less brittle; carbon fiber takes more heat. The holder must be grounded either way.

Custom Handheld Detail Brushes
A handheld detail brush puts the operator's hand pressure into a small place: a seam, a grout line, a vent, a connector, a mold vent or a grinder chute.

Dust Removal
Dust is moved, not dissolved, so the brush is chosen by what the dust is. Fine dense nylon or goat hair lifts fine dust without spreading it.

Share what the brush works on, the temperature and chemicals it meets, the form you need — strip, disc, roller or hand brush — the quantity and a drawing or photo.
We reply to every request within 24 hours, with a quotation or with the questions we need answered first. If the brush can be made on our existing tooling, we make the sample directly. If it needs new tooling, we quote a sample fee and a tooling fee, and the sample fee is credited against the bulk order. Need an NDA first? We sign yours before you send drawings, and the files you send are never shown to other customers.
