DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ Antistatic ABS for Injection-Molded Housings
DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ is an antistatic ABS compound developed by DEYU for injection-molded parts that need static control without switching to a fully conductive black material.
Buyer and engineer FAQ
Questions engineers often ask about this material route
Where can ABS with a antistatic plastic requirement be used?
Typical fields include clear covers, electronic packaging, dust-control parts, trays and clean-area components. For this article, DEYU would first confirm the working environment, wall thickness, expected lifetime and whether DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ permanent antistatic ABS, antistatic plastics matches the part geometry or needs formulation adjustment.
What are the main performance indicators for the "antistatic plastic" target on ABS?
Focus on stable surface resistance, dust attraction, transparency or color, humidity sensitivity and long-term antistatic decay. Buyers should ask for data on molded parts, not only pellet data, because gate position, filler orientation and thickness can change the final value.
What should engineers watch during injection molding or processing?
For ABS, a practical starting window is 210-245°C melt / 50-80°C mold. Avoid over-drying antistatic systems, confirm resistance after conditioning and after part cleaning. Final parameters should follow part thickness, gate design and the actual machine.
What details help DEYU recommend DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ permanent antistatic ABS, antistatic plastics more accurately?
Send the current resin or grade, drawing or photo, wall thickness, annual quantity, target standard, failure mode and required color. If a reference grade already passed one test but failed in production, include both data sets.
For a precise recommendation, share the part drawing, base resin, target performance, processing method and test standard with DEYU.
Product Summary
DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ is an antistatic ABS compound developed by DEYU for injection-molded parts that need static control without switching to a fully conductive black material.
For molded housings that need controlled surface resistance without a black conductive route, review DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ permanent antistatic ABS together with the broader antistatic plastics platform.
Its resistance direction of 10⁷–10⁹ makes it suitable for applications where ordinary ABS attracts dust, accumulates static charge, or creates ESD handling concerns. Compared with conductive ABS, this material is positioned closer to antistatic and static-dissipative applications, where balanced appearance, impact strength, flowability, and processing stability are still important.
Typical value of this grade:
it reduces static accumulation compared with ordinary ABS; keeps the molding and appearance advantages of ABS; supports injection-molded housings and functional parts; offers a practical balance between electrical control and mechanical properties; can be considered for dust-sensitive equipment covers, electronic housings, trays, and industrial components.

2. Technical Route: Why Antistatic ABS Is Different From Conductive ABS
Antistatic ABS and conductive ABS are not the same material direction.
Technical route, application scenarios and real-project validation
For this topic, the useful work starts beyond the generic material name. Engineering validation begins with the failed part, the property that must be held and the test method that will confirm the result after processing.
How DEYU narrows the route
Projects like this follow a permanent antistatic route validated after molding and conditioning. The team first defines the target indicator and the limits for color, impact strength, flow, shrinkage and surface quality. The goal is not to choose one “best” additive, but to define a repeatable formulation window on the molded part.
Where this logic is applied
- returnable trays and ESD packaging
- transparent or natural-color housings where heavy black conductive loading is not acceptable
- parts where dust attraction and discharge risk matter more than high conductivity
These scenarios differ in wall thickness, cycle time, appearance requirements and inspection method. The same material family can need a different adjustment when the mold, part geometry or test method changes.
Anonymized customer case and validation method
In one real anonymized customer project, the starting route was already directionally correct, but the part-level validation was not stable enough. DEYU kept the original application goal and changed the validation parameters and formulation balance rather than narrowing the use case artificially.
| What was compared | Why the previous route was weak | What was adjusted | How the result was evaluated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material before replacement | the previous grade reduced static on standard specimens, but molded parts still attracted dust after storage or gave unstable ESD readings | antistatic system, drying, molding temperature, humidity during testing and surface checks after conditioning | DEYU adjusted the formulation so molded samples kept the intended resistance window more consistently and relied less on short-term additive migration |
| DEYU route | The value on a standard specimen did not fully represent the real molded part. | Short sample run, control specimens, processing window and measurement method. | The result was recorded as a working range; serial supply still needs confirmation on the actual mold. |
This makes the article useful for both engineers and purchasers: the engineer can see what must be tested, while purchasing can see what information should be sent before requesting samples.
Conductive ABS usually targets lower resistance and often uses higher conductive filler loading. It is suitable for stronger charge transfer, powder handling, or conductive industrial components, but it may bring limitations in color, impact strength, surface gloss, and flowability.
DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ is more suitable when the product needs controlled static dissipation rather than strong conductivity.
Suitable Selection Logic
Choose DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ when:
ordinary ABS attracts dust; the housing needs reduced static accumulation; the product is used near electronic devices; clean surface appearance is important; black conductive appearance is not preferred; injection molding flowability must remain practical; mechanical strength cannot be sacrificed too much.
If the application requires very low resistance, grounding function, or powder-contact conductive performance, DEYU can evaluate conductive ABS or other conductive compound routes separately.
3. Application Scenarios
3.1 Electronic Equipment Housings
Electronic equipment housings often need good appearance, dimensional stability, impact resistance, and reduced ESD risk.
DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ is suitable for:
instrument housings; electronic device covers; control panels; equipment shells; small electrical component covers.
Selection focus:
surface resistance on final molded parts; impact strength; color and surface appearance; dimensional stability; assembly reliability.
3.2 Dust-Sensitive Industrial Covers
Ordinary ABS can attract dust around air outlets, fans, display windows, and static-sensitive areas. Antistatic ABS helps reduce dust adhesion and cleaning frequency.
Suitable parts include:
industrial equipment covers; air outlet covers; display-side housings; automation equipment panels; protective covers.
For outdoor or semi-outdoor covers, DEYU can further evaluate UV-resistant antistatic ABS.
3.3 Trays, Fixtures, and Handling Parts
For trays or handling parts used around electronic components, static control and impact performance are both important.
DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ can be considered for:
light-duty ESD trays; assembly fixtures; handling parts; packaging support components; dust-reducing molded parts.
The final suitability should be confirmed by resistance testing on the real molded part, because wall thickness, gate position, and molding conditions may affect measured values.
4. Processing Reference
Typical processing direction:
drying temperature: 85℃; drying time: 4–5 hours; injection temperature: 195–210℃; mold temperature: around 70℃.
Because the melt flow index direction is 22 g/10 min, the material has practical injection molding flowability for many housing and cover parts. For parts with long flow length, thin walls, or strict surface requirements, mold temperature, injection speed, and holding pressure should be adjusted through trials.
5. Customer Case 1: Industrial Control Housing With Dust Adhesion
Original Situation
A customer used ordinary ABS for an industrial control housing. The housing had good appearance, but dust accumulated quickly near the ventilation area after several days of operation.
Original Data
| Item | Ordinary ABS |
|---|---|
| Surface resistance | Insulating direction |
| Dust adhesion after 7 days | High |
| Cleaning frequency | Once every 2 days |
| Surface appearance | Good |
| Notched impact strength | Acceptable |
| ESD concern | Medium |
DEYU Material Direction
DEYU recommended DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ.
Technical focus:
antistatic resistance range; good molded surface; impact retention; stable injection molding; dust reduction without switching to conductive black material.
Result After Trial
| Item | Ordinary ABS | DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ |
|---|---|---|
| Surface resistance direction | High insulating direction | 10⁷–10⁹ direction |
| Dust adhesion | High | Significantly reduced |
| Cleaning frequency | Once every 2 days | Once every 5–7 days |
| Surface appearance | Good | Good |
| Housing impact performance | Acceptable | Acceptable |
| Molding process | Stable | Stable after parameter adjustment |
Case Conclusion
The customer did not need a strongly conductive ABS. Antistatic ABS was more suitable because the real problem was dust adhesion and static accumulation, not grounding conductivity.
6. Customer Case 2: Antistatic ABS Tray for Electronic Handling
Original Situation
A customer used ordinary ABS trays for small electronic components. The tray was strong enough, but static accumulation caused dust attraction and occasional handling warnings.
Original Data
| Item | Ordinary ABS Tray |
|---|---|
| Surface resistance | Insulating direction |
| Dust adhesion | Medium to high |
| ESD warning | Occasional |
| Tray impact performance | Good |
| Dimensional stability | Acceptable |
| Surface quality | Good |
DEYU Material Direction
DEYU recommended DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ for trial molding.

| Item | Ordinary ABS Tray | DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ |
|---|---|---|
| Surface resistance direction | Insulating | 10⁷–10⁹ direction |
| Dust adhesion | Medium to high | Low to medium |
| ESD warning | Occasional | Reduced |
| Impact performance | Good | Good |
| Flatness | Acceptable | Stable after cooling adjustment |
| Surface quality | Good | Good |
Case Conclusion
For electronic handling trays, the best solution is not always the lowest resistance. DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ provided a controlled antistatic route while keeping ABS processability and tray strength.
7. Purchasing Guide
Before selecting DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ, buyers should confirm:
target surface resistance range; whether the part needs antistatic, static-dissipative, or conductive performance; final part thickness; injection molding conditions; impact requirement; surface appearance requirement; color requirement; whether UV resistance or flame retardancy is also required; testing method and acceptance standard.
A professional inquiry should not only say “antistatic ABS.” It should include the application, resistance target, part drawing, color, processing method, and mechanical requirements.
8. DEYU Antistatic ABS Platform
DEYU can further develop antistatic ABS materials according to application requirements.
Available directions include:
DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ antistatic ABS; colored antistatic ABS; UV-resistant antistatic ABS; high-impact antistatic ABS; antistatic ABS for trays and fixtures; antistatic ABS for equipment housings; antistatic ABS with low-warpage adjustment; conductive ABS when lower resistance is required.
DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ is a practical choice when the product needs static control, ABS appearance, stable injection molding, and balanced impact performance.
Conclusion
DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ is an antistatic ABS compound from DEYU for injection-molded housings, covers, trays, fixtures, and industrial components. Its resistance direction of 10⁷–10⁹ makes it suitable for applications between ordinary insulating ABS and strongly conductive ABS.
The material is worth evaluating when ordinary ABS causes dust adhesion, static accumulation, or ESD handling concerns, but the product still needs ABS surface quality, impact strength, and processing stability. Final validation should be done on actual molded parts, including resistance, impact, surface appearance, shrinkage, and assembly performance.
Engineering decision path
This page is intended to work as a material-selection brief, not only as a product introduction. The engineering route starts with the failure mode, then narrows the base resin, additive package, molding window, and validation method.
- Use antistatic ABS when the main issue is dust attraction, handling charge, or ESD-sensitive assembly rather than a true conductive pathway.
- Confirm housing geometry, rib thickness, snap fits, surface texture, and color before locking the grade, because ABS is often selected for appearance as much as function.
- Balance antistatic performance with impact strength, flow, weld-line strength, and paint or printing requirements.
- Validate after molding, wiping, storage, and assembly because antistatic behavior and appearance can change after handling.
Anonymous customer cases
Case 1: control-panel housing in a clean assembly area
The customer had visible dust on molded ABS housings before packaging. DEYU recommended DGK-ABS KJD678R-BZ trials with checks on surface resistance, color uniformity, weld lines, and post-wipe appearance.
Case 2: small electronics enclosure with snap fits
The buyer wanted antistatic behavior without brittle clips. DEYU focused validation on snap-fit strength and surface quality so the antistatic package did not create an assembly failure.
How DEYU supports the project
- DEYU can adjust conductivity, wear resistance, toughness, flame-retardant direction, color, and processing flow as a combined formulation target instead of treating each property separately.
- Sample batches can be aligned with customer molds, part thickness, gate position, and expected tests before commercial supply.
- For international inquiries, DEYU engineers help translate application requirements into resin route, test items, sample plan, and risk points for purchasing and technical teams.
