Polycarbonate is a plastic sheet product designed to control static
electricity for a wide range of end uses. It is a premium quality polycarbonate
sheet which has been surfaced with SciCron Technologies proprietary, clear,
C-300™ static dissipative surfacing. This unique technology prevents charge
generation on the sheet surfaces, thereby controlling particulate attraction and
preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. This performance is permanent
and totally independent of humidity. PC-300 Polycarbonate offers
exceptional design versatility since it fabricates simply, is light in weight
and is available in large sheet sizes. It also exhibits superior impact
resistance and flame spread properties, plus excellent clarity, chemical
resistance, and mar resistance.
Applications
PC-300 Polycarbonate
resists tribo charging under all circumstances and cannot generate a charge when
properly grounded. This makes it ideal for use in manufacturing and assembly
operations for charge sensitive electronic components where it can help prevent
both immediate and latent ESD caused defects. Since it resists charge build-up
it does not attract contaminants, so it can also help prevent
contamination-related rejects in ultra-clean manufacturing operations.
Consequently, it is suitable for use in the semi-conductor, electronic, and
micro-manufacturing industries. Typical applications include; guards, covers,
windows, doors, and access panels for electronic equipment, assembly machines
and instruments; conveyor line covers; transparent room partitions; process
equipment enclosures; and mini-environment glazing panels. The product also has
many general industrial uses, including protection for static charge sensitive
manufacturing devices and control of spark discharge in explosive environments.
