Conductive Grid Tape – ESD Protection for Electronics

Conductive Grid Tape is an anti-static tape designed to dissipate electrostatic charges safely while providing strong adhesion for electronics packaging, PCB assembly, and cleanroom applications. The tape features a conductive grid pattern embedded within a static-dissipative film, making it ideal for sealing ESD shielding bags, grounding surfaces, and protecting static-sensitive components.

1. What is Conductive Grid Tape?

Conductive grid tape is made from a polyester film with a printed grid pattern of conductive carbon lines, creating a pathway for electrostatic discharge. It is coated with a low-static adhesive to prevent charge buildup during application and removal.

Key Properties:

Electrostatic Dissipation – Safely channels static away from sensitive electronics.
Low Tribocharging – Generates minimal static when unrolling or peeling.
Strong Adhesion – Securely seals surfaces without leaving residue.
Conductive Grid Design – Ensures continuous charge dissipation.
Transparent Film – Allows visibility of underlying labels and components.
RoHS & REACH Compliant – Environmentally friendly and safe for electronics.

2. Key Features & Benefits of Conductive Grid Tape

Prevents Electrostatic Damage (ESD) – Protects PCBs, semiconductors, and electronic components.
Ideal for Sealing ESD Shielding Bags – Ensures static-safe packaging.
Conductive Carbon Grid – Creates a low-resistance discharge pathway.
Transparent & Easy to Use – Allows clear visibility of contents when applied.
Leaves No Residue – Clean removal without contaminating sensitive areas.
High Durability & Flexibility – Resistant to tearing, stretching, and impact.
