Dissipative

Dissipative materials allow charges to move more slowly across their volume. Charge placed in one spot on a dissipative object will flow around the object so that all parts of the object share the same charge. If a charged dissipative material is grounded, charges will recombine at a slower rate until the object has no charge. Dissipative materials have resistance to current flow that is greater than conduc- tors, but less than insulators.
