Antistatic & Conductive

Wiman can engineer many types of plastic films to deliver a range of electrical properties from anti-static to highly conductive. Properties are permanent and non-sloughing:

• Anti-Static plastics deliver a surface resistivity of 10¹⁰ to 10¹² ohm/sq. These films provide a decay of static charge, from hundredths of a second to several seconds, preventing accumulations that could otherwise lead to discharge or the initiation of other nearby electrical events. Wiman produces films in this range. Available in translucent, colors, and black.
• Static Dissipative plastics deliver a surface resistivity of 10⁶ to 10¹² ohm/sq. These films allow for the dissipation or decay of electrical charges at a much faster rate than anti-static materials, generally within milliseconds. Measured resistance is uniform and usually strong. Wiman films cover the 10⁹ to 10¹² portion of this range. Available in translucent, colors, and black.
• Conductive plastics deliver a surface resistivity of 10¹ to 10⁶ ohm/sq. Decay rates measured in nanoseconds are instant enough to provide a ground pathway and bleed off stronger electrical charges. Wiman films cover the 10³ to 10⁶ portion of this range. Available in black only.
