Conductive Additives: Embedded materials (e.g., carbon) create a conductive network within the PC matrix.
Surface Chemistry: Some versions use permanent anti-static agents that migrate to the surface, attracting moisture from the air. This thin layer of moisture allows charges to bleed off slowly and safely.
Result: Static charges don't accumulate; they flow across the surface and safely dissipate to ground (often via contact with grounded surfaces or operators).
