Q. What types of packaging tubes do you
produce?
 A. We produce antistatic,
static disspative and conductive tubes.
|
Q. What are the Electro-Static Discharge
(ESD) protective properties of each type of tube?
A. The surface
resistivities of each type of tube is defined as follows:
Antistatic--108 to 1012
Ω/□
Static Dissipative--105 to 109 Ω/□
Conductive--1 to 105 Ω/□
|
Q. What are the differences between the
different types of tubes?
A. Antistatic tubes
are generally made of clear plastic and then treated with
an antistatic agent to add the electrical properties to the
tubes. Antistatic tubes can be made from PVC, Polystyrene
(PS), Polycarbonate (PC), ABS or PET-G.
Static Dissipative tubes are black and opaque.
This is due to the carbon particles that give it its electrical
properties. Most static dissipative tubes have an additional
window made from clear plastic to allow visual inspection
of the components within the tubes. Currently, static dissipative
tubes are made from PVC.
Conductive tubes are also black and opaque.
Visually, it is not possible to differentiate static dissipative
and conductive tubes. Most conductive tubes also have an additional
clear window to facilitate the inspection of the components
packed inside the tubes. Conductive tubes are also available
only in PVC at the moment.
|
Q. What are the maximum and minimum sizes
that you can produce?
A. We can produce
tubes from 3 mm up to 150 mm. Lengths start from 30 mm.
|
Q. Can the tubes be printed with specific
logos and wording?
A. Logos and wording
can be printed on to tubes.
|
Q. Do you provide stoppers or pins together
with the tubes?
A. Yes, we also
produce stoppers and pins for use with the tubes that we produce.
|
Q. Do you only provide packaging products
for electrical components?
A. No. Our products
are generally profile extrusions. We can therefore produce
any type of profile extrusions.
|
Q. Do you support overseas customers?
A. Yes, we have
customers located in europe, the americas and asia.
|
Q. What is your minimum order quantity?
A. Our minimum
order quantity is 5,000 tubes (based on tubes at approximately
500 mm) or 10,000 stoppers.
|
Q. What is your production lead time?
A. Our lead time,
while highly dependent on demand, is about 10 working days,
not including transit time.
|
Q. Do we welcome plant visits?
A. Yes. Please
contact our sales staff to make the arrangements.
