With excellent electrical properties ranging from fully insulating to electrically conductive, plastics are an essential material in the electrical and electronics industries.
Unmodified plastics have inherent electrical insulating properties. These electrically insulating plastics have a high resistance or are completely resistant to the flow of electrical current. They are typically used in a variety of applications in order to prevent electrical conductivity which could potentially cause damage to persons or property. Electrical insulating plastics are widely used in applications such as switches, light fittings, electric wiring and circuit boards.
