Microstat ML54/FR polyethylene powder can easily be processed into containers, which are more conductive than those molded from conventional polyethylene powders for rotational molding. The more conductive the container, the less the static charge generated by contact and separation with other materials. Any charge that is generated can be dissipated by conduction across the container surface to earth. Induced static charge from external fields can rearrange itself on the container surface to give reduced field strength inside the container, thus shielding the contents. Microstat ML54 polyethylene powder, rotationally molded into containers, has been tested for electrical properties by ERA Technology Ltd. The readings of surface and volume resistivity obtained place it in the antistatic or dissipative class.
