Esd Dissipative Material

Abs esd7 is an abs thermoplastic with static dissipative properties for applications where a static charge can damage products impair their performance or cause an explosion in a flammable environment.

Esd dissipative material.

We manufacture three types of esd protecting material. Esd protection for products sensitive to static discharge. The charges flow to ground more slowly and in a somewhat more controlled manner than with conductive materials. Static dissipative materials are considered to be the ideal range for esd materials allowing an electric change to flow to ground slowly and in a controlled manner.

When electrical property requirements exist the key issue is generally whether an electrically dissipating a conductive plastic or an electrically insulating material is required. We manufacture esd material like conductive plastics antistatic plastics and dissipative plastics for minimizing or eliminating damaging static. Dissipative materials allow the charges to flow to ground more slowly in a more controlled manner than with conductive materials. These materials are called static dissipative and have resistivity values below 10 12 ohm meters.

Dissipative items have a surface resistance of more than 1 x 10 5 ohms square but less than 1 x10 11 ohms square. Anti static edit anti static materials are generally referred to as any material which inhibits triboelectric charging. Esd materials are classified by how quickly electricity moves through the material with that speed referred to as the resistance of the material. This kind of charging is the buildup of an electric charge by the rubbing or contact with another material.

Dissipative materials have a surface resistivity equal to or greater than 1 x 10 5 ω sq but less than 1 x 10 12 ω sq or a volume resistivity equal to or greater than 1 x 10 4 ω cm but less than 1 x 10 11 ω cm 2. Dissipative materials are classified antistatic and are considered to be the ideal range for esd materials. Our custom parts and shapes are less resistive to the build up of static charge without compromising the strength wear properties heat resistance or chemical resistance manufacturers expect from. Materials in automated manufacturing which will touch on conductive areas of esd sensitive electronic should be made of dissipative material and the dissipative material must be grounded.

However thermoplastics such as peek and acetal can be modified to provide a range of electrically conductive anti static or static dissipative properties. To be able to pack electronics or other products sensitive to static electricity wellplast ab offers the materials with esd protection.
