Conductive / Static Dissipative Elastomeric Coatings
Overview:
Plasti Dip developed an electrostatic dissipative coating to meet the requirements of packaging and tools used in ESD sensitive areas. A specialty coating was developed that can be applied to a variety of substrates in both production environments and on site. Read more about this unique industrial coating.
Challenge:
New elastomeric coatings were needed to provide ESD protection on a variety of substrates but also eliminate FOD [foreign object damage] and remain permanent. Substrates included corrugated, fluted plastics, ABS, urethane foam and various metals.
Solution:
Benefits:
Not only did the new ESD coatings meet the challenge but additional benefits included-
- Reduced VOC\'s significantly when compared to existing coating systems.
- Non-flammable coating process allowing for greater worker safety in production environment.
- Lower overall costs per unit.
- Minimized permitting, storage, regulatory and insurance concerns while improving work place conditions for employees when using water base versions.
