With conductive materials, it will ground faster than dissipative materials, and static will flow in a rapid manner, starting with no initial charge. Conductive materials will help prevent static discharge when humans are in contact with the plastic containers and can help keep the static charge minimal when containers are being moved around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lacontainer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/WEB_LACS_ABS-CAS_ESD_LABOXX_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/lacontainer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/WEB_LACS_ABS-CAS_ESD_LABOXX_1.jpg\" alt=\"Conductive Anti-Static Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Plastic ESD Boxes With Lids\" class=\"wp-image-1432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lacontainer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/WEB_LACS_ABS-CAS_ESD_LABOXX_1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lacontainer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/WEB_LACS_ABS-CAS_ESD_LABOXX_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lacontainer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/WEB_LACS_ABS-CAS_ESD_LABOXX_1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lacontainer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/WEB_LACS_ABS-CAS_ESD_LABOXX_1-550x413.jpg 550w, https:\/\/lacontainer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/WEB_LACS_ABS-CAS_ESD_LABOXX_1-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/lacontainer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/WEB_LACS_ABS-CAS_ESD_LABOXX_1-260x195.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/calcontainers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/WEB_LACS_ABS-CAS_ESD_LABOXX_1.jpg\"><\/a>Conductive Anti-Static Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Plastic ESD Boxes With Lids<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These conductive cases are based on the rigid acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic, which creates a very sturdy and protective <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lacontainerstore.com\/black-conductive-abs-esd-plastic-boxes.html\">plastic container<\/a>.
