rose plastic offers efficient protection from electrostatic discharge

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) occurs when electrical equalization takes place between two objects. This voltage pulse can damage or even destroy electrical components. Small high-performance components are especially vulnerable.

How does ESD arise? Electrostatics can be generated by surface friction between two objects that were originally neutral. Walking over a carpet for example. Frequent contact and separation causes an imbalance in voltage that can suddenly discharge. This is the small shock we experience when we touch a door handle.

The ESD effect can be prevented with the use of an electrically conductive packaging solution. By using ESD additives or compounds in manufacturing, these packaging materials have a low surface resistance. This stops the packaging from getting electrostatically charged, and protects the contents from being affected by any voltage imbalance.

rose plastic offers high quality ESD packaging for a wide range of plastic tubes, boxes and cases. Depending on its usage, the modified plastic has different degrees of conductivity. The ESD packaging from rose plastic is available in electrostatic conductive material with a surface resistance 10^4-6Ω or in electrostatic dissipative material with a surface resistance 10¹²Ω.
