Methods for Vacuum Formed ESD Polymer Types: Part 2
In Part 1 of this article, a discussion
of ESD industry practices and Standard Test Methods for materials
assessment was outlined describing the types of polymeric materials
(Antistatic, Carbon Loaded and Inherently Conductive Polymers) used
in handling and protecting ESD sensitive components. In Part 2,
a comparison of the relative performance of the polymer types when
subjected to a rigorous battery of ESD tests is presented. By Bob
Vermillion, CPP.

Methods for Vacuum Formed ESD Polymer Types: Part 1
This two-part article reviews the test
methods used to evaluate ESD protective thermoformed polymers and
describes their relative performance. In Part 1, ESD test methods
for material characterization are described; in addition, three
polymer classification types for vacuum forming are examined. By
