Statex™ Static Dissipative Material Provides
Effective,
Reliable Protection of Sensitive
Electronics
 Developed by ITW
Formex®, a global leader in electrical
insulation manufacturing, Statex™ is a
resilient static dissipative material that
serves as an electrical barrier to both
insulate and protect electronic components
from electrostatic discharge. Constructed
from durable Formex™ polypropylene, this
proprietary formula offers exceptional
dielectric strength, moisture resistance and
dimensional stability, while meeting strict
safety and environmental standards.
Statex™ is a superior
electrical barrier because it does not
generate static like other competing
electrical insulation materials. If Statex™
comes in contact with a static electrical
charge, it safely dissipates the charge
across the surface of the material to a
ground.
Reliable Circuit Board
Protection
Stationary electric
charge commonly builds up on humans or
objects, including pieces of electronics. If
an electrically charged material comes near
unprotected electronic equipment, it can
discharge the current through circuit
pathways and significantly harm sensitive
electronic components, especially integrated
circuits. In fact, as
little as 10 volts of static electricity can
cause permanent damage.
Computer manufacturers
often use static dissipative materials to
insulate and protect their circuit boards.
As a highly effective electrical barrier and
static dissipative material, Statex™ is an
ideal product for design engineers to use to
keep circuit boards from developing static
electricity between each other and from
experiencing electrostatic shock from
outside sources.
Long-Lasting Static
Dissipation in Any Environment
Statex™ is specially
formulated to function without the presence
of humidity and has been proven to maintain
its static dissipative properties over time.
This means that Statex™ provides effective,
enduring electrostatic discharge protection
in any climate for the life of your product.
