Product Description
Vu-Stat Y-20 compound is a transparent, electrostatic dissipative acrylic-based multipolymer mainly for molding medical applications.

Typical properties of of Vu-Stat Y-20 compound are:
  • inherent and permanent static- dissipative properties, not surface treatment
  • excellent bonding and welding capabilities
  • good light transmission
  • prevents drugs from adhering to application device
  • high melt flow rate

Used for drug delivery devices, inhalation devices, electronic packaging and any application where antistatic protection is required.
