We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Electrical Conductivity",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release PVC retains antistatic properties from
Polymer-Chemie, which we summarised at the time by saying "Unlike plastics with an antistatic finish, Polymer-Chemie's permanently antistatic compounds do not even require particular ambient conditions to retain their effect".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Coating insulates probe rods from
Victrex: "Sontec's Vicote-coated sensor probe rod rotates inside an isolating body made from Victrex Peek and is electrically isolated from the container wall as well as from its own process attachment".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Hart Coating Technology
concerning its Air classified nickel powders
- take a look at Fine nickel powders are sorted by air
which says: "Air-classification is a powerful technology that enables particulate materials to be separated into fractions smaller than those that can be achieved by simple screening".
Take a look also at the news release from Hart Coating Technology, Quality of silver and nickel spheres increased,
as well as Welding rods join tricky metals from Durafix Easyweld,
and Support keeps flow meters running after 20 years from ABB Automation Tech (Instrumentation + Automation).
