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.
