Conductivity
Many automotive fuel line standards include conductivity requirements for added safety. Conductivity eliminates static electric charges from building, which could otherwise cause a catastrophic spark in an explosive environment. Conductive Rilperm® fuel lines deliver safety, dissipating static electricity well below dangerous levels. Contact us today to improve the safety of your fuel line applications.
The flow of hydrocarbon and other non-polar liquids over materials such as plastics normally induce static electricity. One can easily imagine that a resultant spark in the fuel system could have a disastrous, explosive effect. As a result, many global standards and OEM specifications require that lines carrying liquid fuel must be conductive to provide electrostatic discharge (ESD). Arkema has developed Rilperm® products within each of our general product categories that provide critical ESD even after exposure to severe fuel environments.
