ProShieldESD Technology

Intrinsic polymer conductivity built into the coating film.

ProShieldESD uses intrinsic conductive polymer technology to create a continuous conductive network inside the coating film. It supports controlled static charge dissipation without relying on carbon black, graphite, metal powders or humidity-sensitive anti-static behaviour — delivering stable ESD performance from 9% to 90% RH.

The core difference

The difference is not just that ProShieldESD is conductive. It is how conductivity is created.

Many ESD materials are made conductive by adding fillers. The challenge is consistency. ProShieldESD takes a different route: conductivity is built into the polymer coating system itself.

Filler-dependent conductivity

Conductivity depends on random particle contact inside an insulating polymer matrix.

Controlled charge dissipation

Static charge should move through a controlled pathway — not wait for an uncontrolled discharge.

On ordinary insulating materials, static charge can accumulate on the surface and remain trapped until it finds an uncontrolled discharge path. That discharge may occur through a component, operator, tool, package or sensitive assembly.

ProShieldESD creates a controlled conductive or dissipative surface layer. When static charge reaches the coated surface, it is guided through the conductive polymer network and towards the intended grounding path as part of a complete ESD control plan.

Final dissipation performance depends on coating grade, substrate, application quality, surface resistance range, grounding method and verification testing.

Humidity independence

Stable ESD performance should not depend on room humidity.

Many conventional anti-static systems depend partly on moisture in the air. They may behave differently in dry rooms, air-conditioned spaces, warehouses, seasonal climate changes or low-humidity environments.

ProShieldESD is designed differently. Its conductivity comes from the intrinsic conductive polymer network inside the coating film, helping maintain stable static-control performance from 9% to 90% relative humidity.

This gives ESD coordinators and auditors a more dependable surface technology for real facilities, where humidity is never perfectly constant.

Why it stays consistent

Built for repeatable ESD behaviour, not just one good test reading.

ESD performance is only valuable when it remains measurable and repeatable in real conditions. ProShieldESD combines polymer-level conductivity, homogeneous surface behaviour and humidity-independent performance to support long-term static-control reliability.

01

Continuous conductive network

Conductivity is distributed through the polymer coating film, helping create a connected pathway for static charge movement across the surface.

02

Homogeneous surface behaviour

The coating is designed to reduce localised high-resistance areas, cold spots and inconsistent readings caused by random filler distribution.

03

Humidity-independent performance

Stable ESD behaviour from 9% to 90% RH reduces dependence on ambient moisture, dry-room conditions or seasonal humidity changes.

Technology platform

Testing and verification

A technology designed to be measured.

ProShieldESD is not positioned as a visual coating alone. Its performance should be verified using appropriate ESD and resistivity test methods based on substrate, coating grade, application method and final use. Final compliance depends on the complete system: surface preparation, curing, grounding design, user procedure and test method.
