Three most commonly used antistatic methods for fabrics

 Dispersion Leakage Elimination Electrostatic Method For synthetic fiber fabrics, the conductivity of the fabrics can be increased by reducing the resistance. The main method of reducing resistance is to use surfactants to hydrophilicize the fibers or fabrics, so as to improve the hygroscopicity of the fibers, thereby reducing the resistance of textiles, speeding up the […]

Cleanroom Performance Testing and Reference to Relevant Certification Standard

Cleanroom testing is a very necessary process before the cleanroom is used by the owner after construction. Whether the cleanroom testing meets the standards will directly lead to whether the cleanroom meets the production requirements. According to the standard of IES-RP-CC006.2 cleanroom test, the working state of cleanroom may fall into three states: empty, static and […]

Footwear/Flooring System Walking Test Demonstration

1.This presentation addresses the walking test as described in ANSI/ESD STM 97.2. The use of this test method is required by any ESD control program claiming compliance to ANSI/ESD S20.20 when an ESD floor or ESD floor mat is used as primary ground for personnel. In these situations, the walking test must be performed during […]

ESD Fundamentals Part 6: ESD Standards

Download as a PDF » The electronics industry is continually shifting. Device density and technology is more complex. Electronics manufacturing is more heavily reliant on out-sourcing. The ESD industry seems to have jumped into this swirling eddy headfirst. ESD control programs have mushroomed. Black has been replaced by green, blue and gold. Shielding bags dominate […]

ESD Fundamentals Part 5: Device Sensitivity and Testing

Download as a PDF » In Part Two of this series, we indicated that a key element in a successful static control program was the identification of those items (components, assemblies, and finished products) that are sensitive to ESD and the level of their sensitivity. Damage to an ESDS device by the ESD event is determined by […]

ESD Fundamentals Part 4: Training and Auditing

Download as a PDF » Your static control program is up and running. How do you determine whether it is effective? How do you make sure your employees follow it? In Part Three, we covered basic static control procedures and materials of your ESD control program.  In Part Four, we will focus on two ESD control […]

In Part Three, we […]

ESD Fundamentals Part 2: Principles of ESD Control

Download as a PDF » Fundamentals of Electrostatic Discharge Part Two – Principles of ESD Control – ESD Control Program Development © 2013, EOS/ESD Association, Inc., Rome, NY In Part One of this series, Introduction to ESD, we discussed the basics of electrostatic charge and discharge, the mechanisms of creating charge, materials, types of ESD […]

ESD Fundamentals Part 1: An Introduction to ESD

Download as a PDF » Fundamentals of Electrostatic Discharge Part One—An Introduction to ESD © 2013, EOS/ESD Association, Inc., Rome, NY History & Background To many people, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is only experienced as a shock when touching a metal doorknob after walking across a carpeted floor or after sliding across a car seat. However, […]

The Must Have Antistatic Shoes Resource List

Anti-static shoes are working shoes worn by workshop and advanced laboratory in microelectronics industry, such as electronic semiconductor devices, computers, electronic communication equipment and integrated circuits, in order to reduce or eliminate static hazards. Anti-static shoes can guide static electricity from the human body to the earth, thereby eliminating static electricity in the human body, […]
