ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Sheet-Between Cardboard

ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)-controlled corrugated cardboard sheets are specially manufactured packaging materials used in the electronics industry to prevent damage that may be caused by electrostatic discharge.

ESD-rated sheets are generally used during the storage, transport or packaging of sensitive electronic components. They are manufactured from special coatings or materials that prevent the build-up of electrostatic charges.

ESD-rated sheet interlayers are typically made up of several layers and incorporate ESD-controlled properties that minimise the risk of electrostatic discharge. They are preferred for ensuring the safety of products when used in the packaging and storage of electronic components, circuit boards or sensitive devices.

ESD-lined cardboard sheets help to control electrostatic discharge during the storage or transport of electrostatic-sensitive components, thereby preventing damage to the products.

General Features

  • Electrostatic Control: The ESD sheet prevents the build-up of electrostatic charges and protects products from electrostatic damage. It thus ensures the protection of sensitive electronic components.
  • Special Materials: ESD sheets are generally manufactured from special materials. In particular, they are produced using a specialised manufacturing process designed to prevent electrostatic discharge.
  • Durability: ESD sheets made from corrugated cardboard are generally sturdy and durable. They provide protection whilst products are being transported.
  • Protection and Safety: Provides protection during the transport and storage of electronic components, microchips and sensitive devices. By controlling electrostatic discharge, it ensures that the quality and performance of products are maintained. ESD-rated sheets prevent damage to products and data loss.
  • Flexibility: They can be produced in different sizes and shapes. This makes them suitable for packaging delicate products of various sizes or shapes. Branding and warning messages can be printed on the outer surface to enhance brand recognition.
  • Industrial Use: They are preferred in sectors where precision electronic components are manufactured or used, such as the electronics industry, microchip production and semiconductor manufacturing.
  • Compliance with International Standards: Some ESD sheets are manufactured in accordance with international standards (e.g. ANSI/ESD, IEC or other industry standards).
  • Suitability for Various Sizes and Shapes: They can be manufactured in different sizes and shapes, making them suitable for packaging a wide range of electronic components or devices.
  • Cost-Effective Protection: It is a cost-effective solution for preventing electrostatic discharge and offers an economical option whilst ensuring product safety.
