Electrostatic discharge tape (ESD tape) is a vital tool for protecting sensitive electronics from static damage. By using Polyonics’ specialized dissipative coatings, our esd safe tape and esd polyimide tape provide a reliable path to ground that prevents electrostatic discharge from destroying components during manufacturing.
Electrostatic discharge tape (ESD tape) is a vital tool for protecting sensitive electronics from static damage. By using Polyonics’ specialized dissipative coatings, our esd safe tape and esd polyimide tape provide a reliable path to ground that prevents electrostatic discharge from destroying components during manufacturing.
ESD tape is designed to protect static-sensitive devices (ESDS) during every phase of the product lifecycle, from semiconductor fabrication to final transport. Even a minor electrostatic event can cause latent defects, leading to costly field failures and warranty claims.
At Polyonics, ESD tape is not a commodity product, it’s an engineered material solution. Our electrostatic discharge tape is built using multi-layer constructions that combine high-performance films, specialty dissipative topcoats, and carefully selected adhesive systems.
The result: ESD safe tape that delivers reliable static control, thermal stability, and chemical resistance throughout demanding manufacturing processes.
Engineered for environments where both static control and extreme heat resistance are required.
This tape is commonly used in ESD-controlled areas where conventional polyimide tape may generate static or compromise sensitive components.
Offers a durable, cost-effective solution for static-sensitive applications that do not require extreme heat resistance.
This option provides reliable electrostatic protection without over-engineering the solution.
ESD tape protects static-sensitive components during board handling, soldering, and reflow. High thermal stability minimizes adhesive movement and residue.
Low-charging materials help prevent micro-level ESD events that can damage wafers, dies, and microchips during handling or packaging.
Supports static-controlled environments in vehicle control modules, battery systems, sensors, and power electronics.
Provides dependable static control and dielectric protection for mission-critical electronic assemblies.
Polyonics designs ESD safe tape to protect sensitive electronics from both electrostatic discharge and process-related stress.
| Feature | ESD Tape | Standard Tape |
|---|---|---|
| Static Control | Dissipative & low charging | None |
| Electrical Safety | Safe for sensitive electronics | Risk of ESD damage |
| Heat Resistance | High (polyimide) or moderate (polyester) | Variable, often limited |
| Chemical Resistance | Strong | Moderate |
| Applications | Electronics, PCB, semiconductor | General purpose |
Choosing the correct ESD tape ensures consistent performance in static-controlled environments and manufacturing processes.
ESD tape is engineered with static-dissipative or low-charging materials that control electrostatic buildup. Standard tape can generate or transfer static, increasing the risk of ESD damage.
Yes. Polyonics offers ESD polyimide tape specifically designed for high-temperature processes such as reflow soldering, wave soldering, and PCB masking.
Some constructions are designed for permanent or semi-permanent bonding, while others allow clean removal. Tape selection should match your application requirements.
Yes. Polyonics’ ESD tape constructions comply with global electronics regulations, including RoHS and REACH.
No. Standard Kapton® (polyimide) tape is not inherently ESD-safe. Only specially engineered ESD polyimide tape provides static-dissipative performance.
