Stat-Tech™ TPE Static Dissipative & Electrically Conductive Thermoplastic Elastomers Stat-Tech™ TPEs are electrically conductive thermoplastic elastomers engineered to protect critical electronics from electrostatic discharge (ESD), and electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI). Stat-Tech TPEs can be both injection molded and extruded, giving great design freedom for more complex geometries. Stat-Tech TPEs are well-positioned to perform in applications such as industrial conveyor belts and controllers, ADAS systems and electronic devices.
