Plastic profiles and seals are indispensable in many industries because of the excellent electrical properties of plastics – from complete insulation to electrical conductivity.
If a profile or a seal must meet specific requirements with regard to electrical properties, it must first be clarified whether the plastic needs to be electrically dissipative, conductive or insulating. Depending on the required conductivity, mobil Kunststoffprofile offers various plastics with the desired electrical properties. They form the basis for the design of profiles and seals that are completely tailored to your needs.
Insulating plastics are used in a variety of applications to prevent electrical conductivity that can cause injury or property damage. Electrically insulating plastics are commonly used in applications such as switches, lighting fixtures, electrical cables and control panels. Insulating plastics are particularly characterised by high dielectric strength, high tracking resistance and temperature resistance. Therefore, they are perfectly suited for use as insulating receptacles or as contact carriers.
Conductive plastics are used to prevent static charge and thus electrostatic discharge (ESD). Static dissipative plastics can be used to ensure reliable handling of extremely sensitive components, as they significantly reduce component damage or destruction during production. Electrically active materials are also used in mechanical engineering, for example in materials handling technology or explosion protection. In these application areas, the targeted dissipation of electrical charges is an important factor in avoiding explosive discharges.
Antistatic and statically dissipative plastics offer several advantages over other materials, e.g. in terms of lighter weight, excellent weather resistance and outstanding protection against thermomechanical stress.
