Process Issues that Limited Broader ESD Application (379c)

Back to main topic page...

  • ESD coatings have been applied manually to surfaces.
    • Required skilled operator.
    • Vulnerable to operator fatigue and concentration.
    • Labor costs inhibited broader use.
  • Applied ESD coatings often were not as consistent as needed.
  • Material deposition rates are relatively slow which increased labor costs for surface treatment.
