Intro: antistatic plastic / dissipative mouldings & conductive trays |
||
Another area of expertise is the production of
custom made antistatic mouldings and conductive & dissipative
mouldings We can also make custom made vacuum formed antistatic packaging & conductive trays or you can choose from our range of Standard Trays & Racks or Conductive Tote Boxes, Lids etc. |

Stats: antistatic plastic dissipative mouldings & conductive trays |
Typically, conductive trays have a volume
resistivity of 103 &
a surface resistivity of 104.
They are of particular use in industries where static
sensitive products need storing or protecting
in transport or movement between work cells or in clean room
environments. Injection moulding offers much wider and improved surface and volume resistivity rates, dependent on the grade used, enabling antistatic mouldings and conductive & dissipative mouldings Typical uses include Screening Cases & Covers to protect static sensitive parts. |
An explanation of the terms antistatic / conductive / dissipative & resistivity |
antistatic (1010-1012 ohms/sq.) - suppresses initial charge build up, minimises tribo charging from low speed movement & insulates against moderate to high leakage currents. |
conductive (102-105 ohms/sq.) - provides a grounding path for charge bleed off & dissipates tribo charging from high speed movement *Higher resistivity shielding materials are also available* |
dissipative (106-109 ohms/sq.) - prevents static discharge to or from human contact. |
resistivity - ability to dissipate static charges on the surface or throughout parts (volume). |
