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.

For
example, overmolding a TPE grip onto a hand mixer
can improve comfort.
A few of the options you can add with GLS TPEs:
1.
TPEs can provide
unusual texturing, such as a bubble or ridged
surface or even a leather look.
3.
