How is the ESD tape work?

The working principle of ESD tape mainly involves its material characteristics and treatment methods, which aim to prevent the accumulation of static electricity and safely release it.

Features

Anti-static tape is usually made of specific materials that have certain electrical conductivity or anti-static power.

The role of antistatic agents

Antistatic agents are usually added to the anti-static tape, which can effectively absorb moisture from the surface of the product and the air. The presence of moisture helps neutralize static electricity, thus achieving the effect of anti-static electricity. In addition, the antistatic agent can also migrate inside the resin and eventually migrate to the surface of the product, forming a layer of water molecules to further help discharge static electricity.

Conducting component

Some anti-static tape in the manufacturing process to add conductive components, such as wire, or use conductive plastic, so that the tape itself has a certain conductivity.
This conductivity can help quickly release accumulated static electricity and prevent potential harm caused by static electricity accumulation.

Surface treatment

The surface of the anti-static tape may be specially treated, such as the use of proton bombardment technology in a plasma environment, so that the electrostatic index of the tape reaches 10^7 while maintaining the original characteristics of the film.
This treatment method can improve the antistatic performance of the tape and make it more stable and reliable during use.

Application

Anti-static tape is widely used in fields that require anti-static protection, such as the electronics industry and the non-woven fabric industry. In these industries, static electricity may lead to product quality degradation or safety accidents, so the use of anti-static tape can effectively prevent these problems.
