Static Dissipative Plastic Sheets Market

Global Static Dissipative Plastic Sheets Market: Introduction

Static dissipative plastic sheets are used in applications where static control is necessary. Static electricity is sometimes created when two objects come into contact, as one object becomes positively charged and the other negatively charged. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can be harmful and dangerous, both for electrical equipment and anyone who comes into contact with it. Static dissipative plastic sheets control particulate attraction and prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) events completely independent of humidity. Static dissipative plastic sheets possess toughness, chemical resistance, surface hardness, abrasion resistance, and dimensional stability.

Global Static Dissipative Plastic Sheets Market: Trends & Developments

Increase in demand for static dissipative plastic sheets among consumers due to its applications in the building industry is expected to be a major factor driving the global static dissipative plastic sheets market during the forecast period. Static dissipative plastic sheets are used in building material products to prevent build-up of static charge. Volatility in cost of raw materials is one of the key factors restraining the global static dissipative plastic sheets market.

Global Static Dissipative Plastic Sheets Market: Segmentation

In terms of type, the global static dissipative plastic sheets market can be segmented into Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride (CPVC), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), acrylic, and polycarbonate. Acrylic is a plastic sheet product that controls static electricity in various applications, including windows, doors, machine covers & enclosures, fabricated desiccators, and cabinets. Static dissipative acrylic plastic sheets control particulate attraction and prevent ESD. Static dissipative acrylic plastic sheets possess excellent optical properties, chemical resistance, surface hardness, and abrasion resistance. Polycarbonate is a plastic sheet product that controls static electricity in various applications, including windows, doors, mini-environment glazing panels, machine guards, covers, and enclosures. Polycarbonate has superior impact resistance; flame-spread properties; and excellent clarity, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance. CPVC has excellent flammability and smoke generation properties. Furthermore, it possesses superior chemical resistance, surface hardness, and abrasion resistance. CPVC controls static electricity in room applications that require flame retardant clear plastic.

Global Static Dissipative Plastic Sheets Market: Regional Outlook

In terms of region, the global static dissipative plastic sheets market can be classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific was the leading region of the global market in 2018. India and China are major countries for static dissipative plastic sheets due to the increase in consumption of these sheets in various end-user industries. In terms of demand, North America and Europe follow Asia Pacific. Growth in the building & construction market in North America is likely to drive the static dissipative plastic sheets market in the region. Increase in renovation of buildings in Europe is estimated to boost the static dissipative plastic sheets market in the region during the forecast period.
