Static dissipative labels are described which comprise a polyester or polyimide backing film laminated to a conductive primer layer which in turn is laminated to a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The primer layer and adhesive layer contain conductive particles, e.g. metals, and the conductive particles in the adhesive layer are arranged such that they span the thickness of the layer.

Electro-static dissipative or ESD materials must possess sufficient conductivity to allow for the dissipation of static charges while maintaining enough insulating characteristics to prevent shorts. Described here in are ceramic ESD materials comprised of stabilized zirconia and lanthanum chromate.

The invention contemplates a washable dust-collecting multi-layer electrically conductive web or mat for safely and quickly discharging personnel-accumulated static electricity. An upper continuous polymeric layer of relatively low conductivity, in the order of 10.sup.8 ohms per square and containing a tackifying resin thoroughly dispersed therein, is bonded to an underlying continuous polymeric layer of much greater conductivity, in the order of 10.sup.2 ohms per square, and provision is made f...

Automotive bedliners (e.g., for pickup trucks) are formed from a sheet of thermoplastic material having electrically conductive fibers embedded in a surface thereof in an amount sufficient to render said sheet electrically conductive. The bedliners are most preferably formed of a thermoplastic material (e.g., a polyolefin, such a polyethylene and/or polypropylene) having a matrix of electrically conductive fibers physically embedded in at least one side thereof. By physically embedding the condu...

A process for the preparation of a static dissipative material from a substrate material formed of a thermoformable polymeric matrix of low electrical conductivity. The substrate material is contacted with a solution of an aniline-based monomeric or oligomeric conductant which is selected from the group consisting of aniline and substituted aniline components. The aniline-based conductant is dissolved in a solvent and maintained in contact with the substrate material for a period of time to perm...

Dissipative ceramic bonding tips for wire bonding electrical connections to bonding pads on integrated circuits chips and packages are disclosed. In accordance with the principles of the present invention, to avoid damaging delicate electronic devices by any electrostatic discharge, an ultrasonic bonding wedge tool tip must conduct electricity at a rate sufficient to prevent charge buildup, but not at so high a rate as to overload the device being bonded. For best results, a resistance in the ti...

A composition of fluoropolymer and dispersed conductive particulate provides an electrically conductive polymeric material resistant to static charge buildup. Radiation curing, especially electron beam radiation curing, is favored for curing fluoroelastomer-based precursor articles into desired electrically conductive articles.

A static dissipative device is disclosed for use by persons assembling, maintaining, repairing or operating sensitive electronic equipment. The static dissipative device includes a strap having a static dissipative layer in contact with the skin of the user, which layer consists of an electrically static dissipative material of high surface resistivity, and with an electrically conductive portion in contact with the static dissipative layer for connection to ground.

A mixture of inherently conductive polymer and plastisol is disclosed. Articles made from the mixture can be used as electrostatic dissipative (ESD) articles.

A wand for use in a vacuum system that is made from rigid or non-rigid polymeric materials that have static dissipative qualities so that any static discharge event will be at low enough energy levels so as not to pose a hazard to humans and will be well below the minimum ignition energy for many industrial powders and dusts.
