Unlike most thermoplastics, ABS-ESD7 prevents a build-up of static electricity, so it can't produce a static shock. Besides eliminating static shock, the ESD material eliminates another common static electricity problem: the attraction and build-up of particulate, such as dust or powders, which can degrade product performance.
ABS-ESD7 is also beneficial when designing products that avoid attracting atomised liquid, such as medicine inhalers, which must deliver the entire drug dose to the patient and not leave mist clinging to inhaler's internal surfaces.
The material will be most useful for manufacturers that wish to create assembly aids that hold, handle, or carry their electronics safely.
Primary applications include carriers and organisers for electrical components, fixtures for electronic component assembly and production line and conveyor parts. Other applications include Product design and validation for Electronic product enclosures, Electronics packaging material, Powder or mist conveying or dispensing
