RTP Company: The Global Leader in Specialty Compounding

End-Use Case Study —

Cases for Electronics

• Packed With Durability, ESD Qualities

When one of their top distributors, Faes BV of Bladel, needed a static dissipating material for suitcase-type carriers, SPI BV of Eersel, Netherlands knew what to do. They contacted RTP Company Dutch representative, Distrupol BV. The cases are used for transport and storage of sensitive electronics.

The application dictates a tough material with a surface resistivity of 10⁷ ohms/sq.

An RTP 100 Series (polypropylene copolymer) specialty compound meets all requirements. It exhibits an un-notched impact strength of 20 ft. lbs./in. at 1/8 in. and a tensile modulus of 200,000 psi.

The suitcases come in eight sizes. The exteriors of the suitcases can be imprinted depending on their intended purpose.

Distrupol BV facilitated the formulation, testing and specification of the specialty material for the SPI BV project. The suitcases are molded under strict quality guidelines by SPI BV and are available through commercial distributors throughout Europe. The success of the project is attributed to collaborative efforts among SPI BV, Distrupol BV and RTP Company.
