Different types of antistatic ESD tapes for different applications, Kapton, Grid, Clear, in different sizes. An ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) antistatic tape is an adhesive tape designed to minimize or prevent the build-up of static electricity. This type of tape is crucial in environments where sensitive electronic components are handled, such as integrated circuits, chips, and other devices that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Anti-static tape can be made of materials that dissipate or conduct static charge, making it safe for use in ESD-protected (EPA) work areas. It is usually used to seal antistatic bags, attach components to surfaces, or wrap electronic equipment during transport or storage.
