MATERIALS FOR SHEETS
Electrically conductive PRE-ELEC® plastics bring safety for hazardous environments and protection for sensitive electronics components
The high material requirements of the transport and packaging industry inspire us to continuously develop new sustainable and functional materials to meet the needs of our customers.
Trend 1 Material requirements and standards are getting tighter, especially when operating in ATEX and ESD environments.
Trend 2 Bigger need for packaging complex electronic components, for example, in electric cars and automatization, to protect the sensitive parts from uncontrolled electric discharges.
Trend 3 Replacing metal with plastics to reduce weight and cost, make assembly easy, and prevent corrosion and thus prolong the utilization time of the end-product.
WHERE TO USE?
Polyethylene sheets are used as elements of internal floating roofs for combustible chemicals evaporation control in tanks.
Polyethylene sheets can be thermoformed and used as drum spill trays to prevent leakage of the chemicals.
Flame-retardant polyethylene/polypropylene sheets for controlling static discharge inside closed spaces, like mines, cement plants, or any plants handling products with fine particles or gases.
Example: sheet solutions for electronics packaging
In electronics packaging, conductive plastics protect the sensitive components from uncontrolled static discharges.
