ESD Antistatic Processing
Static dissipation hook and loop fasteners are treated with conductive or antistatic agents to effectively reduce the risk of static electricity buildup, making them suitable for fixing applications in electronic manufacturing, semiconductor equipment, and precision instruments.
Description
Product Overview
ESD hook and loop fasteners are functional hook and loop fasteners that possess static electricity dissipation capabilities through conductive fiber blends or antistatic treatments.
These products effectively reduce the risk of static charge accumulation and instantaneous discharge (ESD), preventing damage to electronic components and precision equipment.
Electrostatic control technology
1. Conductive Fiber Blend
Conductive yarns are added during the weaving process to give the material stable conductivity.
2. Antistatic Coating
Surface treatment technology reduces the surface resistivity of the material.
3. Customized Resistance Design
The resistance range can be adjusted according to customer needs.
Surface resistivity range (reference value)
- Static electricity dissipation range: 10⁶ – 10⁹ Ω
- Customizable to meet application requirements※ Actual values depend on materials and testing conditions; test reports are available.

Resistance Classification Table
Unit: Ohms (Ω)
| category | Surface resistivity range（Ω） | illustrate |
|---|---|---|
| conductor | 10^3 ~ 10^5 | The material has high conductivity, making it suitable for applications requiring rapid conductivity. |
| Conductive dissipation body | 10^5 ~ 10^8 | The material can effectively dissipate static electricity and prevent static electricity buildup. |
| Antistatic body | 10^8 ~ 10^11 | The material has antistatic properties and low electrostatic conductivity, making it suitable for protecting sensitive components. |
| insulator | >10^12 | The material is an insulator, which can block current and is suitable for insulating and protecting electronic components and equipment. |
Meaning of Terms
Anti-Static
