Need ESD Protection? Don't Overlook the Label

Westmoreland, N.H.- March 2, 2010

Polyonics announces the release of TRIBOGARD® anti-static label materials; XF-781 and XF-782 polyimide.

XF-781 and XF-782 have been enhanced to reduce peel voltage levels to less than 100 volts and to maintain a label surface resistivity under 1.0 x 1011. These enhancements dramatically reduce the ability for static to build up on the label making them ideal for use in hazardous environments such as distilleries, refineries, chemical processing and electronics manufacturing where static generated sparks and ESD damage affects safety, production yield, product reliability and profitability.

TRIBOGARD® label materials are designed to address two major ESD concerns that standard labels can present. First, they eliminate the charge generated when the label is removed from the liner that can discharge and cause fire or destroy sensitive components during application. Second, after the label has been applied and during the label life, the TRIBOGARD® label has been designed to prevent significant charge build-up on the label surface which can result in a static discharge event.

Polyonics provides label materials globally for many electronics manufacturers, built around its THERMOGARD® “harsh environment platform”. TRIBOGARD®, a new generation of barcode labels with enhanced anti-static technologies, not only enables you real-time information for WIP tracking, warning and safety information labels but also provides you with anti-static features to protect hazardous environments, boards and their components from ESD events during label application or during label life.

Polyonics’ TRIBOGARD® label materials are designed to withstand harsh chemicals, high heat and PC board manufacturing processes and conform to REACH, RoHS, HALOGEN FREE and other environmental requirements.
