Conductive Resin Guards Against ESD.Thermoplastic A polymer material that turns to liquid when heated and becomes solid when cooled. There are more than 40 types of thermoplastics, including acrylic, polypropylene, polycarbonate and polyethylene. compounds containing an inherently conducting polymer (ICP (1) (Internet Cache Protocol) A protocol used by one proxy server to query another for a cached Web page without having to go to the Internet to retrieve it.

Panipol makes the ICP. These all-polymeric compounds contain no carbon particles and are non-sloughing. They offer permanent, reproducible conductivity for ESD (1) (Electronic Software Distribution) Distributing new software and upgrades via the network rather than individual installations on each machine.

ICP compounds are less expensive than carbon-fiber compounds and reportedly offer better electrical, mechanical, and flow properties. Physical properties are said to be similar to those of the neat resins. They are available in six standard colors for injection or blow molding, blown film, and sheet extrusion. |
