e-skin® soft ESD

Cleanroom classes, small installation space and ESD protection

The tried-and-tested e-skin® soft is now made of dissipative material. This prevents the formation of electrostatic fields and the abrupt discharge caused by the movement of the black e-skin® soft due to the material. The e-skin® soft ESD is suitable for the highest cleanroom classes and requires very little installation space. It has a self-supporting function and a closed design.

e-chains® made of conductive ESD material are used to prevent static charges in the manufacturing processes of electronic components or assemblies. As early as 1992, igus® GmbH, together with the PTB (Physikalisch-Technische-Bundesanstalt) in Braunschweig, carried out measurements of the electrical surface leakage resistance for igus® e-chains® with the special material igumid® GC, supplemented by further certifications in 1998 and 1999 according to DIN 53482 as well as the guideline on static electricity ZH1/200 of the Hauptverband der gewerblichen Berufsgenossenschaften.
