Technology Behind ProShield ESD

ProShield ESD redefines static control with its novel 100% conductive polymer technology. Our range of paints provide permanent and reliable static dissipation for critical applications by eliminating traditional fillers like metals or carbon. ProShield delivers unmatched consistency, eco-friendliness, and superior performance across all industries without cost penalty.

What Makes ProShield ESD Unique?

  1. Permanent Static Control: Unlike traditional coatings that degrade over time, ProShield ESD retains its anti-static, ESD, and conductive properties for the entire lifecycle of the coating.
  2. Homogeneous Conductivity: The fully homogeneous conductive polymer ensures consistent performance without filler clustering or degradation.
  3. Eco-Friendly Formulation: ProShield ESD is RoHS-compliant, low in VOC emissions, and safe for both the environment and workers.
  4. Cost-Effective Solutions: Easy to apply and competitively priced.
  5. Tailored Resistivity Ranges: Customised solutions to meet various industrial requirements:
  • Anti-Static: 10⁹–10¹² ohms for dissipative surfaces.
  • ESD: 10⁶–10⁹ ohms for sensitive electronic protection.
  • Conductive: Below 10⁶ ohms for high conductivity applications.

How ProShield ESD Works

Unlike conventional ESD materials that suffer from many problems our novel conductive polymer matrix provides seamless electron flow across its surface that ensures a reliable static dissipation in diverse environments. We can also tailor the paints to provide either antistatic, ESD and conductive properties.

Performance Durability

Permanent, no degradation over time

Performance reduces with environmental exposure

Loses conductivity as fillers degrade or oxidise

Reliable, but may degrade under extreme UV or humidity

Homogeneity

Fully homogeneous, ensuring consistent performance

Non-uniform; filler dispersion issues

Non-uniform; filler clustering affects conductivity

Relatively homogeneous but sensitive to moisture

Eco-Friendliness

Low VOC, RoHS-compliant, sustainable

May contain hazardous additives

Hazardous; potential heavy metal contamination

Moderate VOC, better eco-compliance than fillers

Resistivity Range

Tailored for Anti-Static (10⁹–10¹²), ESD (10⁶–10⁹), and Conductive (<10⁶)

Typically limited to specific ranges, often not customisable

Broad range but inconsistent over time

Narrower range but suitable for ESD applications

Application Versatility

Compatible with polypropylene composites, EVA foam, concrete, cardboard, and more

Limited to certain industrial applications

Substrate limitations due to filler requirements
