ESD / Anti-static / Conductive / Static Dissipative products
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is a long standing and major concern within cleanrooms and the electronics, aerospace, and semiconductor industries who utilize them. The components in these industries are susceptible to damages caused by ESD, and as a result a lot of attention must be focused on ensuring a static-free environment. ESD / Anti-static products are primarily used to prevent damage to electronic circuit boards and other ESD sensitive products from an electrostatic charge. The surface resistivity is measured in ohms (Ω).
ESD Protective Materials / 防靜電材料 may also be labeled in a variety of different ways, but most equipment falls into 3 categories; Anti-Static, Conductive or Static Dissipative. One similarity of these materials is that they are all measured by surface resistivity units of ohms per square, with the exception of Anti-Static, which has no official resistance or resistivity.
Anti-Static / 防靜電 materials refer to materials which prevent triboelectric charging. This type of material is commonly found in the packaging of electronics and other sensitive products. Anti-Static cleanroom items are usually products like clothing, anti-fatigue mats, cleanroom curtains, gloves, and a variety of different wipes and pre-moistened towelettes. In these instances, Anti-Static products are used to eliminate or control static electricity. It is important to note that Anti-Static is not defined by a resistance or resistivity of a material, whereas Conductive and Dissipative materials are.
Conductive / 導電型 materials carry a low electrical resistance, which allows for electrons to easily flow across the surface or through the material itself. For these types of materials, the electric charge either goes to the ground or to another conductive object through direct contact. All conductive materials have a surface resistivity equal to or greater than 1 x 10^5 ohms/square foot, or a volume resistivity of less than 1 x 10^4 ohm-cm. This allows a charge to be easily grounded or transferred in close proximity. Conductive cleanroom equipment can include products like conductive tiles / 導電地板, shoe covers, cleanroom chairs, and even gloves and tape.
Static Dissipative / 耗電型 materials allow for an electric charge to be grounded more slowly, in a more controlled manner, than conductive materials and may be better suited for situations that require greater control over electric current. Static Dissipative materials have a surface resistivity equal to or greater than 10^5 ohms/square foot, but less than 1 x 10^12 ohms/square. The volume resistivity is equal to or greater than 1 x 10^e ohm-cm, but less than 1 x 10^11. In the cleanroom, Static Dissipative materials are generally items such as; static-dissipative tiles, curtains, nitrile gloves, nylon gloves, Mini & Micro CleanFoam, surface cleaners, and wipes.
