Conductive and Static Dissipative Compounds

Conductive thermoplastic compounds offer reliability and value for applications that require dissipation of static charges, protection fromelectrostatic discharge(ESD), orthermal management.
Specialty compounds can be tailored to offer electrical propertiesspanning the surface resistivity spectrumfrom 10⁰to 10¹²ohm/sq and formulated for injection molding or extrusion processing.
Anti-static and conductive plastic compounds have a number of advantages over metals or surfactant coatings. Finished parts are lighter in weight, easier to handle, and less costly to ship. Their fabrication is usually easier and less expensive due to the elimination of secondary processes, and they are not subject to denting, chipping and scratching.
