Self-adhesive electrostatic film: antistatic tapes

The range contains self-adhesive antistatic polyester film tapes from 3M, in particular ET 40 and ET 40PR. They adhere through an acrylic adhesive. If the film needs to cling through electrostatic attraction alone, you need a different type of product. If your application needs that kind of temporary adhesion, tell us about the surface and how the film must later be removed. We can then clarify the required product type before selection.

ET 40 is an unprinted antistatic polyester film tape; ET 40PR is the printed version. Both are single-sided self-adhesive tapes with an acrylic adhesive. Printing may help identify the tape in a workflow; the required format depends on your component and processing method. Check the electrostatic behaviour and resistance of the specific product version under your conditions of use.

Antistatic does not automatically mean electrically conductive or suitable for electromagnetic shielding. Whether your assembly provides either function depends on the tape's electrical properties and the way the assembly is constructed. Start with the function you require: limit charge during handling, create an electrical path, provide insulation or shield against electromagnetic interference. Describe the function and component construction so that a property of the tape is not assumed to apply to the complete system.

Tell us which film tape you intend to use, the surface, component geometry and processing step. Required marking, delivery form and conditions during removal are also useful. Krückemeyer GmbH can convert suitable films and tapes into dimensions and shapes for an application, for example by cutting or die-cutting. We review the technical and production fit of the chosen form against the actual starting material and your intended use.
