Anti-Static (ESD) Machine Stretch Film
Our pink anti-static LLDPE stretch film is a true ESD-safe formulation engineered for critical Electrostatic Discharge protection. It is the industry standard for securing sensitive electronics, telecommunications equipment, cables, flammable materials, and powder-coated parts where static buildup must be eliminated during high-speed automated and horizontal orbital wrapping applications.
- Dissipates Static (105–1012 Range)
- Self-Adhering & Residue-Free
- Smooth Unwinding & Quiet Release
- Barcode/RFID Readable Clarity

Engineering FAQ: Anti-Static (ESD) Film Specifications
What is the surface resistivity range of the Anti-Static ESD machine film, and how does it prevent triboelectric charging?
The film is engineered with a hygroscopic anti-static additive that draws ambient moisture to the film's surface, lowering the surface resistivity to the optimal static dissipative range of 109 to 1011 ohms/sq (Ω/sq) per ASTM D257. This controlled resistance actively bleeds off triboelectric charges generated by the friction of automated orbital wrapping, preventing localized capacitance spikes that could arc into sensitive PCBA components.
How does ambient Relative Humidity (RH) affect the static decay rate of the ESD stretch film during high-speed wrapping operations?
Because the anti-static amine additives rely on atmospheric moisture to form a conductive microscopic dissipation layer, the static decay rate is directly dependent on ambient RH. For optimal performance - specifically achieving a static decay from 5,000 volts to zero in under 2.0 seconds per EIA-541 standards - the wrapping cell environment must be strictly maintained at or above 15% Relative Humidity.
Does extreme carriage power pre-stretch degrade the electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective properties of the film?
Yes. Exceeding the film's engineered power pre-stretch threshold (typically calibrated at 150% to 200% for ESD variants) can induce micro-tearing in the polymer matrix, physically separating the blooming anti-static molecules and thereby increasing surface resistivity. Packaging engineers must strictly govern film carriage tension to prevent over-elongation, ensuring continuous static dissipation across the load's surface area.
Are there risks of chemical transfer or residue from the ESD additive onto bare telecommunications equipment or printed circuit boards?
Our ESD stretch film utilizes a cast polymer structure designed to bond layer-to-layer without relying on heavy wet tackifiers. However, because functional anti-static agents are chemically active blooming agents, direct film-to-board contact with bare PCBs, silver-plated telecom connectors, or unhoused relays should be strictly avoided; the film acts as a tertiary containment barrier over Faraday cages or primary metallic shielding bags.
