DIFFERENCE: INSULATION MATERIAL - STATIC ELECTRICITY MATERIAL - CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL.

2. Conductive materials

Conductive materials have low resistance and allow electric current to pass easily. A material with a resistance lower than 1x10^4 Ohm is considered to be a conductive material (ESD ADV1.0). When static electricity is generated on the surface, it will be transmitted to the entire surface of the conductive material. If it comes into contact with another conductor, all the static electricity will be easily transferred. If it is connected to the grounding system or the ground wire of the AC power system, all charge will be transferred and the resistive conductor will be electrostatically balanced.

3. Electrostatic transmission material

Materials whose electrical resistance lies between the conductive and the insulating materials are called electrostatically conductive materials. ( 1x10^4 Ohm < Dissipative Materials < 1x10^11 Ohm). Electric current can flow through an electrostatically conductive material, but it is controlled neither as fast as a conductive material nor as slow as an insulator.

Because of this feature, in antistatic control, it is preferred to use electrostatic transmission materials (Dissipative Materials).

4. Anti-static control principle.

• Ground all conductive material
• Substitute insulating material for electrostatic conductive material.
• If it is not possible to replace the insulating material, use an electrostatic eliminator to neutralize the charge generated.
