HOW STAT-TECH MATERIAL MAKES THE DIFFERENCE IN AUTOMOTIVE
ADAS SENSORS, CAMERAS AND ECUS
Protection from static buildup – Stat-Tech
material reduces static buildup with surface
resistivity between 1.0E+2 ohms and 1.0E+6 ohms,
minimizing sparks from damaging nearby electrical
components, especially those near fuel storage.
Integrated EMI/RFI shielding – Stat-Tech material
has integrated EMI/RFI shielding to prevent
crosstalk between components, with effectiveness
up to 70 dB (10GHz, 1/8" thickness).
