Summary

Perm-X-Stat (generic grade) and Med-X-Stat (medical grade) are newly engineered materials designed for ESD protection. These thermoformable PET based films maintain electrostatic discharge (ESD) after over 20 washings with IPA-water solutions. They provide resistance between 10⁵ and 10⁹ Ohms per square of resistance. These materials are humidity independent with low outgassing. This breakthrough provides OEM’s in the medical and electronics industries a clean, clear solution to their ESD requirements.

Suitability

Suitable for scenarios when you need:

• protection of ESD sensitive equipment or medical components
• limited exposure to coatings
• reduced risk of cross contamination
• ability to wash material/tray
• ability to expose to aqueous solutions

Both Perm-X-stat and Med-X-stat are available in a wide array of colours and dimensions. Materials can be APET, RPET, or PETG based.  For more information on the material visit product page here.
