PC ESD is easily fabricated into flat surface configurations. It should not be used for heat-formed bent configurations. PC ESD is manufactured from premium quality transparent polycarbonate sheets which are optically distortion free and resistant to buildup of harmful contaminants.
- Cannot be tribocharged when properly grounded – prevents static buildup
- Electrostatic decay in less than 0.05 second per Federal Test Standard 101C, Method 4046.1 (rapid dissipation without arcing)
- Ideal surface resistivity without need for ionizers or coatings
- Permanence in static dissipation performance without periodic re-coating
- Humidity-independent static charge control
- Advanced technology, uniform surface treatment avoids “hot spots”
- Superior fabrication characteristics offer simplified design and installation
- Inherently light-weight material with large sheet availability
- Superior chemical resistance with reduced risk of solvent attack
