Toray Industries, Inc., has developed a highly antistatic version of Toyolacparel acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resin. The surface resistivity is 10 9 Ω/sq (one billion ohms per square), one-fifth that of the company’s conventional counterpart. Toyolacparel provides durable antistatic performance by forming a continuous-layer 3D network of antistatic polymer throughout the ABS resin. The high surface resistivity of the new compound reflects an improved molecular desig
