Antistatic Tape Applications

Surface Resistance (73°F, 45% RH):

10E10 - 10E11 Ohms - ASTM-D-257

Static Generation from conductive plate:

(73°F, 45% RH): 80 volts average

Static Generation from roll:

(73°F, 45% RH): 50 volts average

Meets government specs: CID-A-A-113C, Type 1 Class A

Applications for Antistatic Clear Cellulose Tape with and
without Symbols

• Sealing ESD bags and other ESD packaging / containers

• Use with ESD symbols for ESD awareness

• General purpose ESD tape applications

• Secure (bundle) IC DIP tubes

• Prevents damage to sensitive electronic components in
manufacturing

• Ideal for holding notes, work orders or obstructions in
offices, antistatic workstations, or for general purpose third
hand use

• Ideal for conformal coating or holding and sealing supplies
in manufacturing

• Ideal in packaging for container sealing, static shielding
bag closure and holding DIP tubes

Applications for Antistatic Clear Cellulose Tape
with Symbols

• Identification or marking product / paperwork / processes

• High visibility with ESD susceptibility symbol for increased
awareness

• Attach ESD paperwork to bags or product

• Ideal in packaging for container sealing, static shielding
bag closure and holding IC DIP tubes

• Prevents damage to sensitive electronic components in
manufacturing

• Available on paper cores and plastic cores

In ESD protected areas, replace regular high charging tape
with Wescorp Antistatic Tape. ANSI/ESD S20.20 paragraph

6.23.1. state “All nonessential insulators, such as those
made of plastics and paper (e.g., coffee cups, food wrappers
and personal items) must be removed from the workstation.

Wescorp Antistatic Conductive
Shielding Grid Tape

Technical Information for
Conductive Shielding Grid Tape

Both surfaces non-tribocharging at 50% RH
Thickness: 1.9 mil (0.049 mm)
Adhesive: acrylic based
Conductive grid layer (50% RH): 10E4 - 10E5 ohms
Adhesive copolymer resistivity: 10E9 Ohms
Copolymer layer resistivity: 10E12 Ohms
Max Temperature: 140°F (60°C)
Absence of shed, crack, chip, or rub off
Non-corrosive

Applications for Conductive Shielding Grid Tape

• For applications requiring EMI shielding

• Use in areas where the generation of static electricity is of

concern

• Using grounded Tape Dispenser, voltage generated by

unrolling will effectively be reduced to zero

• Secure (bundle) IC tubes

• Covers external plugs, holes or connector pins on

electronic chassis (black boxes, etc.) during transportation

or storage

Excerpt from the Naval Aviation Schools Command: "...
Weapon Replaceable Assemblies (WRA)s shall have ESD
conductive plug caps or grid tape over all external cannon
plugs and connector pins.”
