Plastic products are inherently insulating or non conductive in nature and for that reason likely to accumulate electrostatic charge.

Static dissipative properties are a must in areas where ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) can cause materials to ignite or gases and vapors to explode or where ESD can lead to damage of highly sensitive electronic components. The most relevant applications that require ESD-Protection (ESD-P) include:

Packaging of organic combustible powders Handling of flammable and explosive materials Manufacturing and assembly of electronic components Packaging and intermediate storage of electronic components Processing under clean room conditions
