Resistance range, size and compound are agreed per project and confirmed on samples. [Request a Quote]() [Review specifications ↓]() PRODUCT OVERVIEW ## Product overview **Antistatic PU tubing** is made to order as a static-dissipative polyurethane compound for air and fluid lines that run near electronics. We review the application with you, agree the target resistance range and the test method, and confirm the result on samples before production, so this page has no fixed model table. ![Tubing extrusion and coiling line in the Hefei factory]() ### How the tubing is made and checked Tubing is produced on extrusion and coiling lines and checked with dimensional, pressure-hold, burst-pressure and tensile equipment listed in the company inventory. Product requirements are reviewed against the drawing and order. 1. **Incoming**Check supplier documents, material identity, specification, quantity and packaging. 2. **In process**Drawing and route-sheet revision checks, measurement-equipment status and **inspection records**. 3. **Finished tubing**Identity, surface and tube-end condition, dimensions, marking, cleanliness and packaging.

State the resistance value, its unit and the test method in your specification. ANSI/ESD STM11.11 is the ESD Association method for the surface resistance of static dissipative *planar* materials ( [standard page]() ); a round tube is not a planar sample, so agree the method and sample preparation with the supplier before ordering. A published data sheet such as [this Freelin-Wade sheet]() lists surface resistivity, volume resistivity, the standard behind the values, temperature range and diameter tolerance; ask for the same items from any supplier you compare. Many electronic components are susceptible to ESD damage at less than 100 volts. Static dissipative material lets charge transfer to ground or to other conductive objects, so a dissipative tube works as part of a path to ground. Plan how the tube, its fittings and the rest of the line are connected. **RoHS test.** An independent SGS report (No. SHAPH24011336701, 5 June 2024) on a polyether antistatic tube sample, 1/2 inch, found lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, PBDE and the phthalates DEHP, BBP, DBP and DIBP not detected, and states compliance with the EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU as amended by (EU) 2015/863. The result applies to the tested sample. It is a chemical test and does not measure antistatic performance.

The ESD Association separates them by resistance: conductive below 1 × 10^4 ohms, static dissipative from 1 × 10^4 up to 1 × 10^11 ohms, and insulative above that. "Antistatic" is a general word, so state the resistance range and test method in your specification. What resistance range do you offer for antistatic PU tubing? It is a custom compound, so the target range is agreed for the project and confirmed on samples. Send the range and the test method you require with your quotation request. Does the SGS RoHS report prove antistatic performance? No. It is a chemical test for restricted substances on one polyether antistatic sample. Antistatic performance needs a resistance measurement by an agreed method. Does static-dissipative tubing need to be grounded? A dissipative material lets charge transfer to ground or to other conductive objects, so charge can only be carried away if there is a path. Plan the connection through the fittings and the rest of the line. Which PU is used for antistatic tubing? Our SGS-tested sample is a polyether antistatic tube. The compound for your project is agreed during technical review against the medium, humidity and temperature of the application. ## Let’s Discuss Your Tubing Requirements.
