Wescorp Anti-Static Shielding Grid Tape
Desco’s Wescorp anti-static shielding grid tape comes on a paper core and is available in several widths.
This tape has a conductive shielding layer (1 x 10⁴ to < 1 x 10⁶ ohms) with ESD Symbols (MIL STD 1285 and ESDA) and creates a Faraday Cage to provide static shielding of an ESD sensitive item. Surface resistance is 1 x 10⁸ to < 1 x 10¹¹ ohms and is tested per ANSI/ESD S11.11 to meet the dissipative limits of packaging standard ANSI/ESD S541.
These tapes contain a low charging, transparent cellulose film with high tack rubber adhesive. Wescorp tape generates less than 50 volts when unwound from roll (at 73°F, 45% RH average) making it safe to use around most ESD sensitive items.
All tapes will generate some amount of triboelectric charge when unwound from roll. Standard, non-ESD tapes typically generate more than 1000 volts when unwound from roll. If you require less voltage than 50 volts, a grounded tape dispenser or ionization is recommended when unrolling the tape. Please see the accessories section of this page for the Desco 81282 tape dispenser.
