ESD / Anti-Static Polycarbonate Sheet
Surface resistivity made to your specification — for electronics assembly, cleanrooms and equipment windows.
In an electronics plant, an ordinary polycarbonate window is a capacitor waiting to discharge into a board. ESD polycarbonate carries controlled surface resistivity so charge bleeds away instead of accumulating.
We produce anti-static sheet to the resistivity range you specify rather than offering one fixed grade, because the requirement is set by your process — a dissipative range for assembly benches is not the same as a conductive range for sensitive component handling.
Specification
| Property | Specification |

| Cleanroom suitability | Low outgassing grades available on request |
Why topical anti-static treatment fails
Sprayed and wiped anti-static treatments work until the panel is cleaned, then they stop — usually without anyone noticing, because the panel looks identical. Humidity changes have the same effect: topical treatments depend on ambient moisture to function at all, so they degrade in dry winter conditions precisely when static is worst.
Our ESD sheet is treated through the material, so performance does not depend on the cleaning schedule or the season.
Typical applications
- Electronics assembly line guards and windows
- Cleanroom partitions and viewing panels
- SMT and PCB handling equipment covers
- Semiconductor and component storage enclosures
- Anti-static work surfaces and shields
Minimum order and lead time
This grade ships from 100 m² or 1 tonne — a trial pallet, not a full container. Standard sizes and stock colours run in 7–10 days; non-standard thickness or width in 12–18 days; add 3–7 days for CNC cut-to-size work. Quoted in USD on FOB, CIF or DDP terms.

Questions buyers ask
What surface resistivity do I need?
Static-dissipative applications generally sit between 10⁶ and 10⁹ ohms per square; conductive requirements go lower. If your process has an ESD control standard, send it and we will produce to that range.
Does the anti-static property wear off?
No. It is built into the sheet rather than applied to the surface, so cleaning and handling do not remove it.
Can ESD sheet be machined and formed?
Yes, on our CNC centres at ±0.1 mm, and it can be thermoformed. The anti-static property is unaffected by cutting because it runs through the thickness.
