Anti- static, Conductive, E.S.D. (Electro Static Discharge)
Please specify Anti-static, Conductive or E.S.D material
Various plastics with additives or fillers to add levels of conductivity.These materials are frequently in sensitive electronic and spark sensitive applications such as hard drive and memory fixtures, computer work surfaces, part moving systems, and chemical storage areas. This material has an excellent range of machinable materials offering various levels of conductivity. From Anti-Static to fully conductive, they can eliminate the need for using metals in sensitive applications where any static is unacceptable.
- Good to Excellent Machining
- Low co-efficient of Friction with various levels of conductivity
- Dimensionally stable and anti-slough properties yield excellent performance
- Static – The curse of the electronics industry
- Wide range of materials and fillers (additives) produce limitless choices of end use properties
A wide variety of ESD, Conductive, and Static Dissipating materials are available. Due to the range of materials and conductivity levels, we request you contact us for your specific requirements. Here are some common trade names for the ESD, Conductive and Static Control materials:
Tecaform SD, Hydel PE17, Hydel PC-P ESD, Hydel PC7, Tecapeek PVX, Sintimid ESD 23, Krefine ESD PEEK, Tempalux CN, PES CN, Pomalux CN, Pomalux SD, Semitron ESD 225, Semitron, Absylux SD, Absylux CN, Lennite CN, Tivar 1000 Antistatic, Zelux SD, Zelux CN, Kynar SD, Kynar CN, and many more.
Why you should use Conductive Materials:
- Static Removed from wearing areas
- ESD and/or Conductive Fixtures For Electronic Applications
- Static Discharge or Conductive Without Using Metals
- Fills of Carbon Fiber,Carbon Powder, Stainless Steel, and Non-Carbon based Homogeneous Materials
- Light Weight, Machinable and ESD In One Material
- ESD products are ITAR compliant, and ESD products are RoHS compliant
- Fixtures around sensitive electronic components
- Tooling for working on electric materials
- Protection and shipping of sensitive electronic components
Three common terms used to subdivide ESD with materials based on their surface resistance are:
- Anti-Static–pertaining to a material or procedure that disperses, or inhibits the accumulation of, static charges
- Conductive– surface resistance of less than 1 x 10 5 ohms/square
- Dissipative– surface resistance of more than 1 x 10 5 ohms/square but less than 1 x10 11 ohms/square.
