These materials utilize long fiber technology and exhibit enhanced shielding effectiveness versus standard short fiber conductive polymers. Furthermore, Surround formulations offer improved performance in the areas of creep and fatigue resistance, dimensional stability, and surface finish when compared to traditional highly-filled, short fiber formulations.
