New conductive and dissipative compounds based on copolymer polyacetal
PREMIX OY has introduced a full line of conductive and static dissipative compounds based on copolymer polyacetal (POM).
These compounds offer the excellent chemical resistance, toughness and low coefficient of friction of polyacetal while providing ESD protection. The new compounds are colorable and available with or without glass-fiber reinforcement.
PRE-ELEC® 12-000 series conductive compounds (<10E5 ohm in surface resistivity) are based on copolymer polyacetal with carbon black or carbon fiber additives. They are ideal for applications such as automotive fuel systems, gears and similar components where good toughness, wear and chemical resistance are important.
PRE-ELEC® 12-031 conductive compound (10% CF) can be colored for color coding if desired, without affecting the electrical properties of the compound. Carbon fiber filled compounds are useful where the added stiffness of carbon fiber is desirable.
PRE-ELEC® ESD 12-000 static dissipative compounds (10E9 – 10E11 ohm in surface resistivity) are colorable alloys of copolymer polyacetal and inherently dissipative polymers. They are ideal for applications that require truly static dissipative properties with lower surface resistivity than PRE-ELEC® 12-000 conductive products. They dissipate electrostatic charge at a slower rate than the truly conductive compounds PRE-ELEC® 12-000 and PRE-ELEC® 12-031.
