Conductive plastic sheets at a glance
Conductive plastic sheets at a glance Plastic sheets with electrical conductivity, such as our PE-EL or PP-EL-S sheets, are being requested more and more frequently, so we would like to compare the two conductive plastics here in a brief overview. In contrast to the self-conducting plastics, the conductivity of the black sheets is ensured by a conductive carbon black, so that the designation conductive polypropylene or conductive polyethylene is actually not quite correct, because unlike the intrinsically conductive polymers, as the self-conducting plastics are also called, the specific resistance is higher, which is why the plastic sheets with electrical conductivity that we offer are generally used to dissipate electrostatic charges. Both our polypropylene sheets and our polyethylene sheets with electrical conductivity have a contact resistance of about 10 6 Ω*cm and therefore do not differ in their conductivity. Due to the carbon black content, both plastics are not appr...
