About ESD Safe Ceramics

Electro Static Discharge (ESD) safe ceramics were developed for the microelectronics industry for applications requiring ceramic-like properties but also static charge dissipative properties to help prevent the accumulation of the static electricity. All ESD safe ceramics offer tailorable volume resistivity to help meet the widely varying applications posed by the market place.

ESD Safe Ceramics Applications

  • Processing tools
  • Handling and test fixtures
  • End effectors
