The demand for PVC Rigid Sheet(anti-static) has significantly increased in electronics manufacturing, semiconductor facilities, cleanrooms, and healthcare environments where electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is critical. According to research from the Journal of Electrostatics, electrostatic damage causes approximately $9 billion in annual losses to the electronics industry alone. As modern components become more sensitive, the need for reliable ESD-safe materials like anti-static PVC has never been greater.
PVC Rigid Sheet(anti-static) offers excellent mechanical properties combined with controlled surface resistance (typically 10⁶-10⁹ ohms), making it ideal for work surfaces, storage systems, packaging, and machinery components. Unlike temporary treatments, these sheets maintain their anti-static properties throughout their service life. Recent updates to the ANSI/ESD S20.20 standard have further increased quality requirements for ESD protective materials.
Key Property: Anti-static PVC sheets contain a permanent network of conductive materials that create a static-dissipative surface, safely directing charges to ground without compromising mechanical strength or chemical resistance. The surface resistance remains stable within ±0.5 log ohms across the ESD protective range.
Understanding the precise technical specifications of PVC Rigid Sheet(anti-static) ensures proper material selection for specific industrial requirements. The following table summarizes the key parameters of this material:

The performance characteristics of PVC Rigid Sheet(anti-static) vary based on thickness and formulation. These visualizations demonstrate key relationships between thickness, mechanical properties, and electrical characteristics:
PVC Rigid Sheet(anti-static) serves numerous critical functions across multiple industries:
In electronics assembly, PVC Rigid Sheet(anti-static) is extensively used for:
A recent SMTA technical review highlighted that properly implemented anti-static surfaces reduced ESD incidents by 74% in high-reliability PCB assembly environments.
The non-porous, chemical-resistant nature of PVC Rigid Sheet(anti-static) makes it suitable for:
"Anti-static PVC demonstrates superior performance in healthcare settings where both chemical resistance and ESD protection are required. The material complies with ISO Class 5 cleanroom standards when properly installed."

For sensitive electronic components, PVC Rigid Sheet(anti-static) is used to create:
Proper fabrication is essential to maintain the ESD properties of PVC Rigid Sheet(anti-static). Key considerations include:
Standard woodworking tools can be used for cutting and machining. However, tool speeds should be reduced by 30-40% compared to natural wood to prevent melting. Carbide-tipped tools are recommended for extended tool life.
For permanent bonding, two-part epoxies and specialized PVC cements provide the strongest joints. Avoid solvent-based adhesives that may degrade the anti-static network. For mechanical joining, brass or non-sparking stainless steel hardware should be used.
According to ESD Association standard ESD TR20.20, anti-static surfaces must be properly grounded with resistance of 1.0 x 10⁶ ohms or less to earth ground. Regular resistance verification using a surface resistivity meter is required to maintain certification.
The anti-static properties are achieved through a carbon-based conductive network distributed uniformly throughout the material. This additive formulation creates surface resistivity between 10⁶ and 10⁹ ohm/sq - sufficient to slowly dissipate static charges without creating a shock hazard.
Our testing indicates proportional relationships between thickness and key properties:
• Impact strength increases 18-22% per mm up to 15mm thickness
• Rigidity increases with the cube of thickness (following standard beam theory)
• Surface resistivity remains stable (±0.2 log ohms) regardless of thickness
PVC Rigid Sheet(anti-static) exhibits excellent resistance to:
• Acids and alkalis (concentrations ≤20%)
• Alcohols and aldehydes
• Petroleum-based solvents
However, it should not be used with ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons, or chlorinated solvents. Chemical resistance data sheets are available for specific chemical compatibility.
The primary certifications include:
• ANSI/ESD S20.20
• IEC 61340-5-1
• UL 94 V-0 (flammability)
• RoHS 3 compliance
Our material meets all requirements and undergoes quarterly third-party testing to maintain certification.
Within the operational range (-20°C to +60°C), surface resistivity changes less than ±0.3 log ohms. Below -20°C, resistance increases approximately 0.1 log ohms per 5°C. Above 60°C, resistance gradually decreases. Continuous exposure above 80°C is not recommended.
Routine cleaning with isopropyl alcohol (70% concentration) maintains optimum performance. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads that could damage the surface layer. Monthly resistance verification with a calibrated surface resistivity meter is recommended.
Our color masterbatches are specifically formulated to maintain ESD properties while achieving consistent coloration. Color variations cause less than ±0.1 log ohm change in surface resistivity when produced according to our formulation parameters. Dark colors typically offer slightly better static dissipation characteristics.
PVC Rigid Sheet(anti-static) complies with international standards and specifications:
"The increasing adoption of ESD S20.20 compliance represents a fundamental shift in electronics manufacturing quality systems. Materials meeting this standard demonstrate repeatable performance that significantly reduces ESD-related failure rates."
