Effective Management of an ESD Environment in Production Evaluation Methods for Vacuum Formed ESD Polymer Types: Part 2 In Part 1 of this article, a discussion of ESD industry practices and Standard Test Methods for materials assessment was outlined describing the types of polymeric materials (Antistatic, Carbon Loaded and Inherently Conductive Polymers) used in handling and protecting ESD sensitive components. Here in Part 2, a comparison of the relative performance of the polymer types when subjected to a rigorous battery of ESD tests is presented. by Bob Vermillion, CPP Conformity Magazine Figure Tables & Photographs   Compliance Engineering - ESD help   The Chemistry of Dissipative Plastics, Dr. Marv Havens http://www.esdjournal.com/techpapr/twenty1/pp.doc   Evaluation Methods for Vacuum Formed ESD Polymer Types: Part 1 This two-part article will review the test methods used to evaluate ESD protective thermoformed polymers and describe their relative performance.
