Electrical properties of plastics and polymeric materials | |
Electrical properties of plastics and polymeric materials tested according to specific standards for industries such as the aerospace industry and construction products. The electrical properties of polymers, elastomers, composites and plastic films are very important for a wide range of industries such as automotive, aerospace, construction products, marine products, packaging and consumer goods. Electrical tests, in general, are measurements of the resistance, conductivity or charge storage on the surface or through the plastic material. Several factors, such as dielectric strength plus volume and surface resistivity, are crucial to measuring the nature of the polymer material, specifically with respect to its efficiency and conductivity. | |
The electrical properties test capabilities for polymers include | |
Dielectric constant / dissipation factor ASTM D150, IEC 60250 Dielectric strength ASTM D149, IEC 243-1, IEC 60243 Volume resistivity ASTM D257, IEC 60093 Surface resistivity ASTM D257, IEC 60093 In addition to standard electrical tests, Intertek also makes many specific variations of these electrical tests as required by the complex engineering applications of the plastics, elastomers, composites and films industries. |
