Plastazote® LD50 CN is categorised as a heavy-grade conductive material, providing a density of 50kg/m3.
Plastazote® LD50 CN combines a carbon-infused polymer with high material density, delivering exceptional electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection alongside high structural rigidity. It is chosen over lighter conductive alternatives such as LD32 CN when the static-sensitive equipment is heavy, jagged, or fragile enough to require a highly rigid, unyielding cavity insert. It is primarily utilised in defence electronics packaging, high-value medical device transit cases, and cleanroom storage fixtures.
At Polyformes, we are an official seller of Plastazote®. In addition to supplying a range of conductive foams, we can also design and manufacture high-performance electronics packaging that completely eliminates damage.
