Propylux® Static-Dissipative Polypropylene

Propylux is a non-carbon filled, permanently static-dissipative material, with good chemical resistance and mechanical properties. This material is light weight, weldable, easily machined and fabricated, and has moderate transparency at thinner gauges. Three grades include conductive, static-dissipative carbon fiber and static-dissipative carbon powder.
