| Static Control Solutions from 3M |
A Reputation of Trust.
Over the past 100 years, 3M has become widely recognised as a world leader in product innovation. Our ability to combine core technologies has allowed more than 55,000 3M products to become an important part of everyday in many markets, including electronics, industrial, automotive, medical and consumer.
The need for static protection to drain electrostatic charges from personnel and materials is well accepted in many industries. It is of particular importance with the handling and protection of precision high-tech products such as disk drives, semiconductors, flat panel displays and other electronics. From air ionisation to monitoring, flooring and shipping materials, 3M provides complete solutions to meet the challenge of electrostatic discharge (ESD) and adverse environmental conditions during handling and transportation.
Static Control Solutions Product Families
3M™ Static Control Floor Tile 8400 Series is a long-term solution to controlling electrostatic discharge. This solid vinyl tile is durable and attractive and can easily be installed by competent flooring contractors. The flexible, resilient tiles are made with only 100% virgin PVC and contain a minimum amount of filler and none of the regrind that can make tile brittle. Both the "conductive" and "static-dissipative" versions are available in a selection of bright, vivid colours.
3M provides a wide range of static shielding and barrier packaging products to protect sensitive electronic components from static charges during transit and while in storage. To meet your specific needs, 3M provides shielding bags, cushioned bags and wrap, moisture barrier bags and more in a variety of sizes and material composition.
To aid in the various processes typical of the electronics industry, 3M has assembled a wide selection of tapes including antistatic utility tapes for use in static sensitive areas, tapes designed for wave soldering applications, foil shielding tapes and other related tapes and accessories.
3M™ Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Workstation Solutions provide a safe environment for the handling and assembly of sensitive components. These products drain static charge from personnel, limit the buildup of static charges on non-conductive materials on the benchtop, and monitor the system to ensure that it is operating properly. These various components can be configured to work together providing optimal protection for your application.
3M™ Test Equipment
3M offers a complete selection of test equipment to verify the correct functioning of static control systems. These test products measure static voltages on objects and surfaces, verify air ioniser performance and test static control wrist straps and footwear.
