| Description: Latistat materials have low specific resistivity. They feature partial electrical conductivity. Selected functional additives give materials with low specific resistivity and reasonable mechanical properties. The LATISTAT compounds are used in all applications where product surface must be completely and permanently free of static charges. Addition of carbons supplying electric semi-conductivity will diminish the flowability and good surface finish of the materials, and limiting the prospects of obtaining colored products. Applications: cabinets, containers, boxes for storage and handling of discharge-sensitive electronic components, casings and bodies for electrical and mechanical components to be used in areas where flammable and explosive materials are processed, parts for typewriters, printers, photocopiers, parts for textile machinery, racks and tracks for printed circuits; electro-medical equipment. Specific Notes for this Material: polycarbonate base (PC); good antistatic properties; 20% glass fiber; high dimensional stability. Disclaimer from LATI: This document contains information based on average values as obtained from the results of laboratory tests and observations made on LATI materials. Tested materials were injection molded, used in their natural color, and conditioned in compliance with Standard ASTM D 618, procedure A. These values refer to LATI's best technical and scientific knowledge at the moment of testing and cannot be used as a basis for the development of applications. For a better assessment of the materials, you are kindly requested to contact LATI's technical or commercial offices, which are at your disposal and will supply detailed information on the most suitable characteristics for their intended use. With reference to DPR n.224 dated May 24, 1988, issued in accordance with EC Guide-lines 85/374, LATI Industria Termoplastici S.p.A. declines all responsibility arising from an improper use of the products described in this document.
