INTRODUCTION
You need to design and manufacture a plastic part to meet electrical requirements, and you need to choose the best material.
Plastic materials are generally classified under the heading "insulating materials", which includes all materials with resistivities greater than 10 6 Ω cm 2 /cm. They are often chosen for this property, in addition to their ease of processing.
This sheet will help you answer the following questions:
What type of insulation do you want to achieve?
What kind of performance do you expect from your piece?
How do you test this performance?
