“We used the ESD Acetal to make fixtures to hold our electronic parts during production. These new fixtures have eliminated the defects we were experiencing. This change will save us thousands of dollars a year. Thanks for the help.” Andrew R.
“I was simply amazed that I could get a conductive plastic. I thought all plastics were insulators, by definition. We have changed over some sensor mounts to the conductive PolyPro, and have stopped the problems with our food handling sensors. Works great for this application.” Kent J.
