Anti-static ABS plastic Vs. Ordinary ABS Plastic

Anti-static ABS plastic and ordinary ABS plastic have some differences in material properties and application areas. Anti-static ABS plastic is a special kind of ABS plastic that realizes anti-static effect by adding conductive materials to ABS plastic or changing the surface treatment.

The following are the differences between them:

Antistatic performance: anti-static ABS plastic has better anti-static performance, can effectively avoid the impact of static electricity on the product or equipment, to prevent problems caused by static electricity buildup or discharge. And ordinary ABS plastic does not have special performance in static control.

Conductive properties: anti-static ABS plastics usually contain conductive fillers, such as carbon fiber, metal powder, etc., in order to improve the conductive properties of the material, reduce the surface resistance, so as to achieve anti-static function. Ordinary ABS plastic usually does not contain conductive fillers.

Surface treatment: anti-static ABS plastic surface will usually be special treatment, such as spraying conductive coating or adding conductive particles to enhance its anti-static properties. The surface treatment of ordinary ABS plastics is usually not related to static control.

Applications: Anti-static ABS plastics are used in applications where static electricity is a concern, such as electronic equipment, medical devices, aerospace and other fields. Ordinary ABS plastic is more widely used in home appliances, automobiles, furniture and other general areas.

Performance characteristics: anti-static ABS plastic in addition to the excellent physical properties of ABS plastic, but also has a good static control effect. Ordinary ABS plastic is mainly focused on the mechanical properties of the material, chemical resistance and processing characteristics.

In general, anti-static ABS plastic is a special material improved on the basis of ordinary ABS plastic, with anti-static properties and conductive properties, suitable for special occasions requiring static control. When selecting materials, it is necessary to determine which type of ABS plastic to use according to the specific use of the environment and requirements in order to achieve better results.

The difference between anti-static ABS plastic and ordinary ABS plastic

The biggest difference between anti-static ABS plastic and ordinary ABS plastic is the conductivity. Ordinary ABS plastic is an insulating material, when the electrostatic energy exceeds the insulating strength of the material, the electrons will leave the surface of the material and produce discharge phenomenon. While anti-static ABS plastic can avoid the generation of static electricity at the same time, but also be able to release the static electricity to avoid the problem of static electricity accumulation.

Application scope of anti-static ABS plastic

Antistatic ABS plastic has a very wide range of applications, in addition to applying to the field of ordinary ABS plastic, such as electrical appliances, electronics, home appliances, etc., but also can be used in the field of higher antistatic requirements, such as medical equipment, semiconductor production equipment, aircraft, automobiles and so on. The emergence of anti-static ABS plastic for the production and use of various fields to bring more choices.

Characteristics of anti-static ABS plastic

Anti-static ABS plastic has the following characteristics compared with ordinary ABS plastic due to its conductive properties:

1. Good anti-static performance, to avoid the accumulation of static electricity caused by a variety of problems;

2. Good surface lubrication performance, to avoid friction generating static electricity;

3. Good heat resistance, not easy to be damaged in high temperature environment;

4. Good wrapping properties, able to tightly wrap the items.

Comparison of anti-static ABS plastic and metallized plastic

Metallized plastic is a new type of material made by plating a metal film on the surface of plastic. Compared with metallized plastic, anti-static ABS plastic has the following advantages:

1. The manufacturing cost of anti-static ABS plastic is lower, and its performance is better than that of metalized plastic;

2. Anti-static ABS plastics have better lubrication properties and do not have adhesion problems like metalized plastics;

3. Anti-static ABS plastic is more environmentally friendly and does not produce excess metal waste in the production process.

Production process of anti-static ABS plastic

The production process of anti-static ABS plastic is basically the same as ordinary ABS plastic. Among them, the antistatic agent is a key raw material added during the production process, which can help the material maintain conductive properties. During the production process, the amount of antistatic agent added needs to be precisely controlled, otherwise too much or too little will affect the performance of antistatic ABS plastic.

How to properly handle and store antistatic ABS plastic

Anti-static ABS plastics require the same attention as ordinary plastics when storing. The material needs to be avoided from exposure to moisture and high temperature environments, as well as prevented from excessive bending, overweight storage, etc., as these conditions will lead to a reduction in the performance of the material. Need special reminder is that, in the process of using anti-static ABS plastic, can not use charged appliances, so as not to generate static electricity at will.

Summarize:

Anti-static ABS plastic has good electrical conductivity and anti-static ability, which can avoid the generation of static electricity at the same time, but also be able to release the static electricity to avoid the problem of static electricity accumulation. It has a wide range of applications and can be used in medical equipment, semiconductor production equipment, airplanes, automobiles and so on. The production process of anti-static ABS plastic is basically the same as that of ordinary ABS plastic, and the key is to add the right amount of anti-static agent. In the process of storage and use need to pay attention to avoid moisture, high temperature, excessive bending and other conditions, so as not to affect the performance of the material.
