Stat-Tech™ Static Dissipative & Electrically Conductive Formulations
How Avient Can Help
Avient’s ultra-pure Stat-Tech™ Static Dissipative Formulations are polymeric formulations that combine select engineered resins with conductive additives such as carbon powder, carbon fiber, nickel-coated carbon fiber, and stainless steel fiber, that provide the precise level of electrical conductivity required for your application.
Depending on your application’s performance needs, Avient can develop a custom Stat-Tech formulation to provide anti-static properties, dissipation, conduction, and electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) shielding.
