- Highly transparent with excellent optical clarity
- Superior UV resistance and impact resistance
- Cost-saving solution compared to steel or other common enclosure materials
ESD (Electrostatic Dissipative) Acrylic & Polycarbonate
In today’s technology-driven world, managing electrostatic discharge (ESD) is crucial for the protection of sensitive electronic components and equipment. A&C Plastics offers two premier ESD-dissipative solutions: ESD Acrylic and Polycarbonate. These ESD-dissipative plastics are engineered to safely dissipate static charges, preventing damage to sensitive electronics.
ESD Acrylic
- Excellent control of electrostatic discharge
- Abrasion-resistant surface for enhanced durability
- Exceptional optical properties for clear, high-quality visibility
- Static charge control unaffected by changes in humidity
ESD Polycarbonate
- Durable and impact-resistant for protective enclosures
- Excellent optical clarity and transparency
- Effective ESD management to safeguard electronic components
Common Applications of ESD in Electrical Applications:
- Covers, windows, and access panels for electronic equipment
- Protective enclosures and housings for machines and instruments
- Any environment where static charge control and optical clarity are critical
