ESD - Electrostatic Sensitive Devices
To protect sensitive devices from electrostatic discharges, the selected material must have a propensity to dissipate it.
Such a property requires materials offering a surface resistivity level in a window of 1.E+06 Ω.cm to 1.E+08 Ω.cm, while plastics are above 1.E+12 Ω.cm, with very good insulating performance.
