Conductive Polymers

Lubrizol Conductive Polymers is focused on a single mission: To produce the widest variety of permanent static control polymer choices for electronic applications. Whether the process involves thermoforming, injection molding or extruding, or the applications range from disk drives to semiconductor manufacturing, packaging to clean rooms; no other manufacturer is better positioned to offer the right polymer.

Permanent static control polymers are the way to eliminate damage by static electricity.  Lubrizol Conductive Polymers ensure that products or packaging will dissipate charge before any damage occurs in a sensitive electronics environment.

A different approach to static control

Stat-Rite^® Polymer Alloys set the new standard for test and design engineers requiring permanent static dissipation without compromising cleanliness. Unlike old technologies, such as conductive fillers and chemical anti-stats, Stat-Rite alloys blend a proprietary, inherently dissipative polymer with a variety of base polymers. This produces polymer alloys with an inherent static dissipative network. Current base polymers include polypropylene, acrylic, soft polyurethane, PETG, ABS and others. This inherent static dissipative network remains intact through thermoforming, injection molding, or extruding while maintaining the physical properties of the base polymer.

The right conductive polymers for any static control need

Lubrizol Conductive Polymers recognizes that different applications require a blend of key attributes including surface resistivity, recyclability and cost. Any given applications might emphasize a different combination of attributes. To address these market needs, we offer a broad line of conductive and dissipative polymer products, including carbon blacks, carbon fibers and Stat-Rite® polymer alloy systems.

The chemistry of Stat-Rite polymer alloys offers engineers the advantages that they now require:

• PERMANENCE - Can be reused or recycled without loss of ESD protection.
• CLEANLINESS - Non-corroding, non-contaminating, non-off-gassing.
• CONSISTENCY - Polymer alloy technology eliminates variability caused by insufficient filler loading or uneven anti-stat coating or different humidity levels.
• FLEXIBILITY - We offer the widest variety of static dissipative polymers in the industry
• BROAD PRODUCT LINE - products are available as either sheet or compound. Fillers include IDP alloys carbon fiber and carbon black. Host polymers include: polypropylene, polycarbonate, acrylic, ABS, PETG, TPU and others.
• TECHNICAL SERVICE - thermoforming, injection molding and extrusion technical experts maximize the materials performance, wherever and whenever they are needed.
• FLEXIBILITY – materials are available to meet any criteria by utilizing either carbon fillers of inherently dissipative polymer alloys for thermoforming, injection molding, or extrusion processes.
• CURRENT TEST METHODS - involvement with industry groups guarantees materials exceed current electrical and micro contamination standards.
