Conductive Plastic Sheet

Conductive thermoplastic compounds offer reliability and value for applications that require dissipation of static charges protection from electrostatic discharge esd or thermal management.

Conductive plastic sheet. They are made conductive when they have metals added to them. Dissipative items have a surface resistance of more than 1 x 10 5 ohms square but less than 1 x10 11 ohms square. Skived carbon filled uhmw ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene film. The carbon type and level achieve conductivity sufficient for static dissipation applications.

Most plastics are good electical insulators. Anti static materials are generally referred to as any material which inhibits triboelectric charging. So the term conductive plastics can be misinforming. Electrically conductive plastic sheet and plastic film.

Conductive materials are materials that have a surface resistance of less than 1 x 10 5 ohms square. The sheet has low surface and volume resistance compared to other plastics making it good for handling trays and workspaces that are very sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Specialty compounds can be tailored to offer electrical properties spanning the surface resistivity spectrum from 10 0 to 10 12 ohm sq and formulated for injection molding or extrusion processing. Two plastics that that are conductive are the polyacetylene polyphthalocyanine.
