Noxtat SDB™

• Electrostatic decay less than 0.05 seconds per Federal Test Standard 101C, Method 4046-1
  • Static decay is only 25% of the standards 2- second maximum which Indicates that product performance will meet or exceed all generally accepted industry specifications
• Standard surface resistivity of 10⁶ to 10⁸ ohms per square plus optional availability of a greater range if needed
  • Assures ESD control in a wide range of applications without the need for ionization
• Permanent static dissipation performance
  • Save high costs of periodic application of temporary topical anti-static coatings
• Static charge control not affected by humidity
  • Reduces costs of humidification – and costs of damage if the humidifier system fails
• Uniform surface treatment
  • No conductive discontinuities, typical in topical anti-static treatments or inferior sheet products that may cause charged “hot spots”
• Superior impact resistance
  • Minimizes damage from handling and physical abuse
• Excellent optical properties
  • Excellent clarity for see through applications
• Tough abrasion resistance surface
  • The coated surface is harder than the base plastic while protecting the sheet surface
• Powerful chemical resistance
  • Reduces surface damage from solvents and other chemicals

Noxtat SDB™ acrylic plastic is a sound choice for manufacturing applications where effects of ESD could cause rejects or hidden latent damage to sensitive electronic devices. This product is widely used in the semi-conductor, electronic and micro-manufacturing industries.

It is also used in other industrial applications such as screen assembly, packaging, explosive environments where static discharge must be prevented and applications where sensitive process instrumentation and equipment must be protected from static charge.

The acrylic sheet may be fabricated into a wide variety of shapes using the same equipment used for uncoated sheet products. The product is not suitable, however, for most heat-formed configurations because the hard cross-linked polymer surface is not designed for heat bending.

Generally, you may use the same types of fabrication procedures such as cutting and drilling that you would use for uncoated acrylic plates.

When gluing, it is necessary to mechanically remove the coating surface to insure a good bond. Some applications have included covers, guards, access panels, machine windows and doors, static control shields, glove boxes, electronic equipment, process instrumentation, conveyor line covers, cleanroom windows and doors, partitions, and pass through modules.

Acrylic coated with static dissipative NOXTAT SDG™ will perform on the pencil hardness scale at 2B, clearly the hardest coating available today.
