ESD PEEK vs Standard PEEK: Understanding Surface Resistivity Differences
PEEK is naturally an excellent insulator with surface resistivity above 10^16 ohm. For semiconductor, electronics, and explosive-environment applications, this is a problem: static charges accumulate and cannot dissipate. ESD PEEK solves this. Here is the complete comparison.
What Is ESD PEEK?
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) PEEK is PEEK resin compounded with permanent antistatic additives. Unlike topical coatings that wear off, the ESD property is built into the polymer matrix. NAGOMER ESD PEEK K6B maintains consistent surface resistivity of 10^6 to 10^8 ohm per square.
Standard PEEK (K12N) vs ESD PEEK (K6B): Head-to-Head
Property | Standard PEEK K12N | ESD PEEK K6B |
Surface Resistivity | 10^16+ ohm | 10^6 – 10^8 ohm |
ESD Safe | No | Yes, ANSI/ESD S4.1 |
Color | Natural amber | Black (carbon-filled) |
Tensile Strength | ~100 MPa | ~95 MPa |
Op Temperature | -60 to +260 C | -60 to +260 C |
Price Premium | Base | +40-60% vs standard |
