In order to safeguard electrostatically sensitive devices or to contain flammable liquids or gases, plastics called electrostatic discharge (ESd) materials are used. Two of these plastics—antistatic and static dissipative—come in various strengths.
As the cause of unanticipated damage of semiconductor devices, electrostatic discharge (ESD) has historically been a significant problem in the semiconductor industry. ESD is the process by which electrostatic charge is transferred between surfaces or entities at various electrostatic potentials. Electrical insulation is typically a property of unmodified polymers. However, it is possible to modify thermoplastics like PEEK and Acetal to give them a variety of electrically conductive, anti-static, or static-dissipative qualities.
Materials that are ESD safe keep electrostatic charges from amassing inside a component. When an ESD-equipped doorknob shocks you (Electrostatic Discharge). These charges have the potential to harm electrical parts. Therefore, all materials in a factory that produces electronics must be ESD Safe.
The global semiconductor ESD plastics market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
As the first business to manufacture several of the high-performance materials used today, Westlake Plastics has been providing materials for electrostatic discharge (ESD) and semiconductor applications. They provide numerous materials that are best for wet benches and cabinets for applications like wet processing. For ESD, they changed the dielectric characteristics of our polymers to make them electrically conductive, anti-static, or static-dissipative.
Additionally, their Zelux (polycarbonate) sheets offer the best clarity and dimensional stability for sight windows for applications demanding optical clarity. Westlake Plastics is making significant investments in capacity and innovative products to meet the rising demand for semiconductors and the related requirements.
