OVERVIEW
Akon can supply you with ESD Curtains. These Antistatic Curtains are critical for applications where any electrical discharge could pose an explosion risk or damage critical components. Unlike topically treated antistatic materials which can wear off after prolonged use, our line of industrial curtains is completely antistatic. The ESD PVC film has an anti-static agent added at the compound stage making it last longer. Also available are ESD grid curtains.
Common Applications
The appearance of these antistatic curtains is the same as any common PVC film. Both sides of the film have the same properties. These curtains are commonly used in the following applications. The Industrial ESD PVC curtains also have a great draping ability so that they can be used as protective covering for carts, instruments, or even entire walls.
- Cleanroom ESD Curtains
- Semiconductor ESD Curtains
- Microelectronics ESD Curtains
- Production processes sensitive to electricity
Available Sizes and Thicknesses
Akon has the ability to modify the ESD curtain films into almost any size and shape. The available colors are clear, black and frosted. However, the thickness of the material does vary based on your application.
- 14 Mil Film
- 40 Mil (1.0mm)
- 60 Mil (1.5mm)
- 80 Mil (2.0mm)
- 120 Mil (3.0mm)
Common Configurations
ESD Grid Curtain / Antistatic Curtain Film
These curtains are an ideal barrier curtain wall for sensitive environments. The honeycomb grids are installed on both sides of the PVC curtain for additional dissipation of static electricity. The material is 12mil thick.
- Material is thin which compacts easily
- The PVC grid curtains are less expensive than thicker materials
- The PVC can ship in rolls that are quick to deploy
- The conductive scrim grounds the static charges
ESD Strip Curtains and Doors
Strip curtains allow the rapid movement of people and material from one side to the other. The strips come in widths of 4” up to 24” depending on your application needs.
- ESD Strips come in thickness from .080” to .240”
- Mounting hardware comes in stainless, aluminum or galvanized
- Strips can be purchased in bulk rolls or pre-cut and punched
- They are easy to replace should they become damaged
ESD PVC Curtain Walls
Like the anti-static grid curtain shown above, the curtain walls are generally thicker and more robust. They come in thicknesses from 14 mil to 120 mil. These can be installed as static fixed in place barriers or movable side-to-side walls via industrial track.
- Can be hundreds of feet wide to section off large spaces
- Sections can be Velcro or magnet attached
- PVC comes in all clear, tinted, solid color, or frosted
- The curtains can be secured to the floor for a clean finish
ESD Vinyl Curtain Walls
Less expensive than the thicker ESD PVC curtain mateial above, the ESD Vinyl curtains are thinner and more flexible. They are custom made to your specific requirements just like the other materials.
- Light forest green front and black back
- Can be double layered for black front and back or green front and back
- Static dissipative green front and conductive black back
- Surface resistance on the green side of 109 – 1010 ohms
