Electrostatic Discharge Safe (ESD)

Electrostatic discharge happens all the time, especially in dry climates and in the winter season, when there isn’t moisture in the air to help bleed the excess electrons (water is conductive, allowing the electrons to flow more easily). Normally it is nothing more than an irritation, but with sensitive electronics it can lead to PCB failures. Without the appropriate equipment and supplies, a worker can generate thousands of volts. Damage can shut down functions or create intermittent problems.

ESD programs maintain an equal potential by maintaining continuous contact with the ground, avoiding ESD damage. Techspray's cleaners, lotions, and coatings are an integral part of an ESD control program.


ESD-Safe Coatings


Electrostatic Discharge Safe (ESD)

Licron Crystal ESD Safe Coating

Licron Crystal ESD Safe Coating is a versatile, crystal clear urethane coating that adheres to metal, plastic, and most other surfaces. The end result is compliant with ANSI/ESD­S20.20, which prevents static damage to sensitive electronic components.

Ideal for converting standard bumpers, bins, tools, and surfaces to ESD-safe, saving expensive replacement cost.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • Rugged static dissipative coating
  • Surface Resistivity of 10^6 To 10^9 ohms
  • Operating temperature range up to 302°F (155°C)
  • Humidity independent
  • Non-ozone depleting
  • Superior adhesion to variety of surfaces: glass, plastic, etc.
  • Coverage - 1 gallon @ 1 mil wet film will cover ~1600 sq ft, @ 2 mil ~800 sq ft
