If you specify Polypropylene (PP) anti-static and ESD plastic products, a handful of properties decide whether the part survives in service. These are the values worth checking on every data sheet.
The notes below come from day to day production and export work with overseas buyers.
This category covers a family of products rather than a single item. In practice a buyer defines anti-static and ESD plastic products by three things: the base resin, the format or dimension, and the performance or certification level it has to meet. Typical options in this category include surface resistivity 10^6 to 10^9 ohm/sq; cleanroom compatible grades; sheet, profile, tray and box formats. Materials most often specified are Polyether Ether Ketone, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Polypropylene, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, and the choice between them changes stiffness, temperature resistance, chemical behaviour and price.
In the electronics and electrical sector the decision is usually driven by flame retardancy and dimensional stability, with EMI control as a secondary requirement. Typical end uses include cable management, connectors, battery holders.
These figures are typical for commercial grades and should be confirmed against the supplier's certificate for your specific lot.
| Material | Density | Tensile strength | Service temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polypropylene | 0.90-0.91 g/cm³ | 25-40 MPa | -10°C to 100°C |
| Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene | 1.04-1.06 g/cm³ | 30-50 MPa | -20°C to 80°C |
| Polyethylene Terephthalate | 1.35-1.40 g/cm³ | 50-70 MPa | -40°C to 70°C |
Polypropylene is frequently the default selection here: PP is the lightest mainstream packaging resin and keeps its shape under repeated flexing.
The table below summarises the values that usually decide the material choice.
Density 0.90-0.91 g/cm³, tensile strength 25-40 MPa, continuous service temperature -10°C to 100°C and melt range 160-170°C are the four values to circle on the data sheet. Everything else is secondary for most electronics and electrical projects.
Beyond the base resin, most suppliers offer UV stabilised, food contact, flame retardant, anti-static and recycled content versions of the same product. Ask which additive package is included, because it is often the difference between a part that lasts three years and one that lasts ten.
The route below is the one most factories use for this type of part.
Secondary operations such as printing, welding, machining and assembly are often cheaper to do in the same factory, and they reduce the risk of mismatch between components.
Work through these points in order and most specification mistakes disappear.

Standard packing is export cartons on fumigation-free pallets, with custom labelling, barcode and retail packing available. We also handle consolidated containers and door to door delivery.
Yes. Standard samples are normally free of charge and shipped within three working days; custom samples are charged at cost and credited against the first production order.
A new tool typically takes 25 to 45 days depending on cavity count and complexity, followed by T1 samples within one week. Existing tools can usually start production within 10 to 15 days of order confirmation.
Standard production tolerance follows the relevant ISO or DIN tolerance class for the process; tighter tolerances are possible after machining or grinding, but they add cost. Define the tolerance only on the functional dimensions.
For standard sizes and colours the minimum is usually one pallet or one production run; for custom tooling the economic minimum depends on the tooling cost amortised over the expected volume. Send us your annual volume and we will calculate the break even point.
Our team supplies anti-static and ESD plastic products to electronics and electrical customers worldwide, with samples, material certificates and full inspection reports available before mass production.
