Ducoya® G201 ESD is a high-purity polyimide for semiconductor applications where an electrostatic dissipative capability is required. This material is intended for use in the latest semiconductor manufacturing operations, especially where movement could generate static electricity that must be gently discharged without risking damaging delicate electronic componentry.
Ducoya G201 ESD combines the high dimensional stability, wear resistance, minimal particle generation, and ease of machining that Ducoya is generally known for, as well as its other attributes, such as broad chemical resistance and an impressive continuous operating temperature range of up to 400°C in vacuum or favourable chemical environment.
In this case, Ducoya G201 ESD has been formulated to include electrostatic dissipative capability rather than being a powerful insulator. To deliver a gentle dissipation of static electricity, Ducoya G201 ESD has surface resistance in the range of 105 Ω/Sq.
Unintended and uncontrolled electrostatic discharge is a significant hazard in fast-moving operations where dissimilar materials can touch each other, accumulating static electricity. Depending on the nature of the item receiving the electrostatic charge, voltages can exceed 25kV, a level many times greater than necessary to be dangerous to semiconductor circuitry. Ducoya G201 ESD allows such charges to dissipate gently, minimising risk to delicate circuits.
If a pure insulator is desirable, please consider Ducoya G001 and G001 UP (Ultra Pure).
If a conductive grade is required to help prevent the build-up of static electricity, please consider Ducoya G202 C (Conductive).
Based on data from a limited run of production batches, a number of important properties are significantly improved when compared to the market-leading brand. Such properties include wear resistance, compressive strength, elastic recovery, elongation at break and tensile strength, underpinned by significantly higher purity.
