Functional material solutions for a safe and technology-driven society
Several drivers increase the need for electrically conductive plastics: rapid technology development creates high demands for devices and products. In many cases, technologies are based on body monitoring and signal transmission; durable and flexible material applications are needed. Electrically conductive plastics meet the demands. Conductive polymers are also an excellent choice for replacing metal.
We have innovated conductive, flexible, durable material solutions for various devices and applications. Many of them are also ideal for skin contact:
- Body monitoring and other wearable electronics
- ECG electrodes
Static control for healthcare facilities
Safety for people and the environment
At Premix, we do everything we can to improve the safety of our society – both for people and the environment. Our electrically conductive plastic materials are critical factors in improving the safety of people.
Static electricity causes many kinds of problems: unpleasant electrostatic shocks to the personnel, premature wear and tear to the delicate and expensive machinery, not to mention the risk to patient safety.
The electric charges discharge uncontrollably when a charged object is in contact with a highly conductive material. By ensuring that a plastic material is electrically conductive, we can eliminate the problems caused by electrostatic discharge and make the world more comfortable and safer.
We have created safer environments in various ways, as our electrically conductive plastics are suitable for a broad range of applications:
- Hospital bed wheels
- Medical tubes
- Fire alarms
- ESD carpets
"Whenever pushing the hospital bed into an elevator, I used to cover my hand with my sleeve to lower the level of the static shock (which I knew was going to hit me).
I used to touch another surface before touching the patient to ensure I would be the only one to suffer from a static shock. I began to avoid using certain medical devices to escape painful static shocks”.
