Products in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs): Styrenics

Esschem MMA - Styrene Bead Copolymers are a versatile range of copolymers combining methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene. These bead copolymers offer a wide array of properties and applications. With increased MMA content, the resulting materials exhibit remarkable strength and transparency. Conversely, a higher proportion of styrene enhances hydrophobicity, hardness, and impact resistance. The molecular weight plays a crucial role in determining the characteristics of the copolymers. Higher molecular weights, often associated with increased styrene content, yield stronger and more heat-resistant materials. Esschem's ability to manipulate the molecular weight distribution allows for customized properties such as durability, elasticity, and processing ease. Additionally, the particle size of the copolymers influences surface properties and rigidity.

Electroblend® HIPS-1800 is a conductive high impact polystyrene compound.

ABS-ESD7™ (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene-electrostatic dissipative) is an ABS thermoplastic with static dissipative properties for applications where a static charge can damage products, impair their performance or cause an explosion. ABS-ESD7 prevents a buildup of static electricity, so it will not produce a static shock or cause other materials like powders, dust and fine particles to stick to it. Ideal for electronic products with circuit boards and for the transportation and industrial equipment industries. Most widely used to create jigs and fixtures for the assembly of electronic components, but it is also useful for building functional prototypes of fuel storage and delivery products, as well as cases, enclosures and packaging.
