Patent ID: 8496864

Claim:
A method, comprising: heating a cable strap formed of a static dissipative ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) resin, including carbon black particles, to a first temperature within a range of approximately 150° Celsius and a melting point of the resin; cooling the cable strap to a second temperature; and repeating the heating and the cooling of the cable strap until an electrical resistivity of the cable strap is reduced, wherein: the heating and the cooling are performed with respect to a plurality of cable straps formed of the static dissipative ETFE resin; each of the cable straps includes a substantially smooth edge surface; an initial average electrical resistivity of the substantially smooth edge surfaces, measured between two points that are approximately six inches apart, is at least approximately 150 mega Ohms; and the repeating of the heating and the cooling is performed until the average electrical resistivity is less than approximately 50 mega Ohms.
