3M Antistatic Utility Tapes 40 Printed and Unprinted represent a breakthrough in pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape technology. This new tape, which generates less than 50 Volts on unwind and removal from stainless steel, helps prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to sensitive electronic components in manufacturing environments. Triboelectric charge may vary with your application and environment. - 3M 40 Antistatic Utility Tapes can be used at static-safeguard workstations as part of your total static control program. It generates very low levels of static charge even in dry conditions of 10% relative humidity (RH). The tape is supplied on a paper core, antistatic plastic cores are available to minimize particulate contamination in clean work areas.
