PC-300™ ESd Polycarbonate plastic sheet

PC-300™ ESd Polycarbonate plastic sheet 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, PC-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.

PC-300™ ESd Polycarbonate is a plastic sheet product that controls static electricity for many applications, including windows, doors, mini-environment glazing panels, and machine guards, covers and enclosures. It is a premium quality polycarbonate sheet coated with SciCron Technologies proprietary, clear, C-300™ static dissipative coating which prevents charge generation on the sheet surfaces. This controls particulate attraction and prevents electrostatic discharge (ESD) events completely independent of humidity. PC-300 Polycarbonate fabricates simply, is light in weight and is available in large sheet sizes. It has superior impact resistance and flame-spread properties, plus excellent clarity, chemical resistance, and mar resistance.
Designed for Flat Applications such as cleanroom glazing & equipment windows.

PC-300™ ESd Polycarbonate plastic sheet Features and Benefits

• UL-94V0 certified*
• Cannot be tribocharged when properly grounded
  Prevents build-up of static charge and accumulation of harmful contamination.
  
• Electrostatic decay in less than 0.05 second per Federal Test Standard 101C, Method 4046.1
  Results in rapid static dissipation without arcing.
• Surface resistivity of 106 – 108 ohms per square
  Provides for ESD control without the need for ionization.
• Permanence in static dissipation performance
  Avoids cost of application of temporary topical anti-stats.
• Humidity independent static charge control
  Avoids inconvenience of maintaining high levels of humidity and damage caused by such humidity.
• Advanced technology, uniform surface treatment
  Avoids conductive discontinuities (charged “hot spots”) often found with non-uniform temporary topical anti-stats.
• Superior impact resistance
  Provides exceptional shatter resistance for safety.
• Superior flame spread properties
  Provides additional protection for equipment in a fire.
• Hard, abrasion resistant, durable surface
  C-300 surface, harder than the base plastic, reduces risk of damage to the sheet surfaces.
• Superior chemical resistance
  Reduces risk of solvent or chemical surface damage.
• Excellent clarity
  Premium optical quality polycarbonate with clear C-300 surface minimizes visible distortion.
• PC-300™ Polycarbonate is not designed for exposure
  to direct sun light and is not warranted for external applications.

Available Colors

PC-300™ ESd Polycarbonate plastic sheet application

PC-300 Polycarbonate resists tribocharging 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, micro-manufacturing, and mining 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.
