ESD Material

Piper Plastics, Inc. introduced the Krefine line of ESD (Electro-Static Dissipative) materials. Developed by the Kureha Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan, this unique family of materials combines specialty carbon materials and superior compounding technology.

Featuring consistent, repeatable results, Kureha can guarantee the surface resistivity fluctuation to within one power of ten. Proprietary compounding technology has made it possible to ensure the same resistivity at any point on the surface layer; control the respective resistivity of the skin and central layers and use several types of custom carbon materials to provide products with a specific resistivity in the 106 to 1012 ohms/sq. range.

Currently stocked in PEEK 10mm and 20mm thicknesses x 500mm x 1000mm, this compound can be added to PES, PEI, PVDF, PBT, PC, POM, PP, PE, ABS and other standard resins.
