Premix Thermoplastics Introduces New Conductive
and Static Dissipative Polyacetal (POM) Compounds
Milton, WI (December 8, 2005) Premix Thermoplastics, Inc., a custom
compounder of specialty electrically conductive thermoplastic compounds, 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 fiberglass reinforcement.
PRE-ELEC 12-000 conductive (<1x10e5 ohm) compounds 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 compounds can be colored for color
coding if desired without affecting the electrical properties of the
compound. These compounds are useful where the added stiffness of carbon
fibers is desirable.
PRE-ELEC ESD 12-000 static dissipative (1x10e9 to 1x10e11 ohm)
compounds 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.
Using many of the commercially
available thermoplastics and
virtually all of the electrically conductive additives, inherently
dissipative polymers (IDPs), and inherently conductive polymers (ICPs),
Premix creates customized solutions to meet customer needs.
