Protect your sensitive components from ESD
Electronics components need packaging during production and transportation to the customer. Plastics are a commonly used packaging material, but they create a risk of uncontrolled electrostatic discharges (ESDs), which can cause component breakage and hidden failures in them.
Premix's PRE-ELEC® plastics are electrically conductive and static dissipative plastic compounds designed to reduce the extent of hidden failures and guarantee a longer operation life for electronic devices.
The first PRE-ELEC® application was an injection-molded box for a Finnish television manufacturing company in the early 1980s. Since then, we have developed our portfolio of plastics that protect increasingly small and delicate components. Today, we also provide conductive concentrate plastics for ESD package producers, supporting cost-awareness and material recycling.
Effect of ESD packaging during the life cycle of electronics.
ESD component trays
PRE-ELEC® PS concentrate is the most cost-efficient raw material solution for ESD component trays. It performs excellently even in challenging formulations and, for example, improves mechanical properties of the sheet, even when diluted with undefined fraction of recycled polystyrene.
ESD Packaging foams
PRE-ELEC® EVA and LLD compounds and concentrates for foam extrusion are tailor-made to match each customer’s unique process and foaming technology.
TPU/ABS sheets for heavy duty packaging
PRE-ELEC® ABS and TPU form together an excellent material combination in co-extrusion. They come forward when sheets with anti-slipping, abrasion, and scratch resistance properties are required for surface-sensitive or heavy-duty products.
ESD boxes, crates and pallets
PRE-ELEC® conductive plastics for boxes, crates, and pallets provide good ESD and mechanical protection to static-sensitive devices and components during assembly and transportation.
Compounds for conductive monofilaments and raffia tapes
Premix’s electrically conductive PRE-ELEC® compounds and concentrates are specially developed for thin and durable monofilaments and raffia tapes in FIBC type C applications.
The material maintains an excellent conductivity level. The electrically conductive filaments can be easily braided with non-conductive filaments. This enables conductivity in the end product.
Compounds for conductive liner films
FIBC liner films can also be made of Premix conductive LDPE compounds and concentrates. The materials are easily processable, e.g., with a high blowing ratio and still retaining the required level of conductivity.
Final properties can be modified by choosing a concentrate instead of a direct compound. A lower dilution ratio leads to higher conductivity. A special dilution polymer brings special mechanical properties, such as better flexibility. Using concentrates also brings cost benefits.
Film grades are also suitable for multilayer films where surface layers are conductive.
