What are the classifications of ESD protective materials?

Based on the principles of ESD protection and the conductivity of materials (according to their resistivity), ESD protection materials can be roughly divided into the following types:

1.

Static dissipative material: a material with a surface resistivity equal to or greater than 10 ^ 5 Ω/square, but less than 10 ^ 12 Ω/square,

and a volume resistivity equal to or greater than 10 ^ 4 Ω· cm ,but less than 10 ^ 11 Ω· cm.

2.

Conductive material: A material with a surface resistivity of less than 10 ^ 5 Ω/square and a volume resistivity of less than 10 ^ 4 Ω. cm.

3.

Electrostatic shielding and electromagnetic shielding materials: Shielding materials are conductive materials with low electrical resistivity, with a surface resistivity equal to or less than 10 ^ 4 Ω/square, and generally do not generate static electricity when rubbed on the surface.

 

They can be used to shield radio frequency and low-frequency electromagnetic fields, but due to their low resistance, they are prone to static induction and discharge in the electrostatic field, which can damage the product. Therefore, a layer of electrostatic dissipation material is usually composite inside the shielding material (such as metal foil).

The advantage of PE anti-static plastic bags is that using a regular PE plastic bag production line, as long as a certain proportion of anti-static agent is added to the raw material ratio, the products produced will have anti-static function.
