Plastics with insulating properties

Plastic profiles and seals are indispensable in many industries due to the excellent electrical properties of plastics - from complete insulation to electrical conductivity.

If a profile or seal is required to have electrical properties, it must first be determined whether an electrically conductive, conductive or electrically insulating plastic is required. Depending on the required conductivity, mobil Kunststoffprofile offers various plastics with the desired electrical properties. They form the basis for the design of profiles and seals that are tailored to your needs.

Plastics with insulating properties

Insulating plastics are used in a variety of applications to prevent electrical conductivity that can lead to injury or property damage. Electrically insulating plastics are often used in applications such as switches, lighting fixtures, electrical cables and control panels. Insulating plastics are particularly characterized by high dielectric strength, high tracking resistance and temperature resistance. They are therefore ideally suited for use as insulating mounts or contact carriers.

Plastics with conductive properties

Conductive plastics are used to prevent static charging and thus electrostatic discharge (ESD). In order to ensure the reliable handling of extremely sensitive components, static dissipative plastics can be used to significantly reduce damage to components or their destruction during production. Electrically active materials are also used in mechanical engineering, for example in conveyor technology or explosion protection. In these areas of application, the targeted dissipation of electrical charges is an important factor in preventing explosive discharges.

Profiles with individually defined properties

Antistatic and static dissipative plastics offer a number of advantages over other materials, e.g. in terms of lighter weight, excellent weather resistance and outstanding protection against thermomechanical loads.
