What Are Electrically Conductive Plastics? | Chomerics | Parker Hannifin

Discover why electrically conductive plastics are an ideal way to achieve lightweighting and electrical conductivity in your design.

Most electrically conductive plastics will weight as half as much as aluminum and as low as 20% the density of steel, with a density range of 1.3-1.4 g/cc for most conductive plastics relative to 2.7 g/cc for aluminum and 7+g/cc plus for steel.

Our experts will take you through why electrically conductive plastics might be best for your design and what to watch out for.

Unlike normal plastics, electrically conductive plastics have the ability to conduct electricity -- providing “immunity” for sensitive components from incoming electromagnetic interference (EMI) and/or prevent excessive emissions of EMI to other susceptible equipment.

Product designers and engineers are discovering the unique advantages of electrically conductive plastics compared to traditional metals – such as weight reduction, cost reductions, elimination of secondary manufacturing steps – all resulting in leaner supply chains and better products.

Parker Chomerics PREMIERT ‘single pellet’ electrically conductive plastic pellets offer superior performance and consistency when compared to many conductive plastic materials. The primary advantage of PREMIER is the use of pultrusion compounding to ensure uniform amounts of conductive filler are within each pellet.

Our PREMIER electrically conductive plastics are manufactured as single pellet formulations, which ensures the most reliable, consistent shielding of molded products.

Single pellet or homogeneous products are far superior to multi-pellet blends (also called dry blends or salt-and-pepper blends) that use pellets from different compounds randomly mixed together.
