Spartech says its conductive plastics and anti-static products provide permanent protection against ESD for sensitive devices.
ST. LOUIS—Spartech, a manufacturer of engineered thermoplastics and custom packaging products, is offering thermoplastics from its Royalite® line for products that require dissipative properties. The materials, including conductive plastics and anti-static products, are designed to provide permanent protection against electrostatic discharge for sensitive devices during manufacture, assembly, and storage, the company said in a release.
“Royalite’s innovative conductive plastics feature several material chemistries for manufacturing shipping containers, sensitive software chips, aviation fuel caps, and temporary floor material vital to avionics assembly,” said Royalite Senior Product Manager Eric Lattanner, in the release. “Our anti-stat products are made with PETG, APET, rPET, or HIPS materials, and are ideal for medical, electronic, and food packaging, or any other product where controlling and minimizing static buildup and discharge is required.”
Spartech said it also offers Royalite® Electrostatic Dissipative thermoplastic sheet that meets permanent static protection requirements and minimum static decay requirements outlined in MIL-B-81705C and NFPA Code 99 specifications.
Additional material benefits of UL® listed Royalite dissipative products include availability in anti-static rigid sheet that provides high stiffness and abrasion resistance, excellent thermoformability, and dimensional stability. These characteristics are well-suited for today’s robotic material handling systems. Benefits are also reported to include superior impact-resistance and the fabrication capabilities to machine, saw, drill, rout, and grind the material.
