Custom sealmakers offer different recipes of graphite filled teflon.
Are these likely to be electrically conductive in the 400 volt range?

RE: conductive teflon
Hi,
Simply, no.
Polymers need a minimum level of fibres (conductive variety) to give conductivity. I think this around 5% minimum, but I guess fibre length is important.
I know that aluminium flake added to polymers does not make it conductive at any sensible loading (e.g 50% or more)
Suggest you talk to specialists in this field (e.g LNP (now part of GE, RTP (Europe) and no doubt many others....
Cheers
Harry
RE: conductive teflon
I am out of date now, But PTFE suppliers were DuPont (with their trade name Teflon), ICI, Hoechst, Asahi and an Italian company whom I cannot recall.
