Features Of Antistatic Polypropylene Compound
- The main components of antistatic polypropylene compounds are permanent antistatic agents and polypropylene resins. Their surface resistance is 10E8-10E11 Ω/sq, which prevents damage to sensitive electronic components and equipment caused by electrostatic discharge. They are widely used in electronic appliances, precision instruments, and other fields that are sensitive to electrostatics. The antistatic effect of antistatic polypropylene is long-lasting. Whether in short-term use or long-term exposure to different environmental conditions, its antistatic performance can remain relatively stable.
- The density of antistatic polypropylene compounds is relatively small. It is one of the smallest densities among all antistatic compounds, only 0.94 – 0.98g/cm³, which makes the cost of the material relatively low. It has good processing properties and can be made into products of various shapes and sizes through various processing methods such as injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and casting. The processing process is simple and efficient and can meet the production needs of different products.
- Among general engineering plastics, polypropylene compounds have good heat resistance and can maintain their physical and mechanical properties at higher temperatures. The continuous use temperature can reach 90 – 120℃, and it can withstand higher temperatures in the short term. It is suitable for use in some occasions that require a high-temperature environment, such as heat dissipation components of electronic equipment, mechanical equipment that works at high temperatures, etc.
- Antistatic polypropylene compounds are thermoplastics and are recyclable. They do not contain substances that are harmful to the human body and the environment, can be used in areas such as packaging materials that come into direct contact with food, and are safe and reliable to use.
Antistatic Polypropylene Compounds Are Widely Used In：
Electronic and electrical field: In the production, packaging, transportation, and storage of precision electronic components such as integrated circuits, chips, sensor sheaths, etc., antistatic polypropylene compounds can be used to make turnover boxes, pallets, packaging boxes, etc. It can prevent static electricity from adsorbing dust, avoiding short circuits, poor connections, and failures of electronic components due to static electricity adsorption of dust; at the same time, it prevents electrostatic discharge from breaking through electronic components, ensuring that electronic components maintain stable performance during transportation, storage, and processing. Antistatic polypropylene is also used in the outer shells of electronic products such as mobile phones, computers, and televisions.
Medical field: Some medical equipment, such as electrocardiographs and B-ultrasound machines, can be made of antistatic polypropylene for their outer shells, which can not only ensure the mechanical strength and protective performance of the equipment but also prevent static electricity from interfering with the electronic components and sensitive parts inside the equipment, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of medical equipment. In the packaging of medicines and medical devices, antistatic polypropylene can be used to make packaging materials, such as medicine bottles, infusion bags, syringe trays, etc. It avoids static electricity from adsorbing dust and impurities, ensures the cleanliness and sterility of medicines and medical devices, and also facilitates operations during packaging and transportation.
Chemical industry: During the production of chemicals, antistatic compounds are needed for the transportation and storage of some chemicals. Antistatic polypropylene compounds can be used to make parts for chemical pipelines, storage tanks, reactors, and other equipment to prevent sparks generated by static electricity from causing fires or explosions, and other safety accidents. For some flammable and explosive chemical products, their packaging materials need to have good antistatic properties. Packaging bags and packaging boxes made of antistatic polypropylene compounds can be used for the packaging of chemical products to ensure safety during transportation and storage.
Photovoltaic field: In the cleaning process of solar photovoltaic panels, the use of cleaning brushes made of antistatic compounds can avoid static electricity adsorbing dust and ensure the cleanliness of the photovoltaic panel surface, thereby improving power generation efficiency.
Clean room field: Antistatic polypropylene compounds can be used to make packaging materials and equipment for clean rooms, such as packaging bags, packaging belts, packaging pallets, etc. Ensuring that products do not generate static electricity accumulation in clean rooms and protecting product quality is particularly important for the production environment of some electronic and semiconductor products that are sensitive to static electricity.
