ESA HPL type P

Electrostatically conductive, decorative high pressure laminate in postforming quality with black core.
Made of several impregnated cellulose layers and melamine impregnated decor paper which are pressed together under pressure and heat. The back side is sanded for gluing.

Field of application

  • Wherever electrostatic charge needs to be prevented, the products out of our ESA systeam are essential. In workplaces, in microelectronics, laboratories and control centres.

Processing

  • Please respect the recommendations of the GKV trade associaton for the processing of high pressure laminates.
  • For the production of composite elements we recommend a symmetric construction. This means both sides identical HPL. If backing material (also HPL) is used, there is a risk of shape distortion (bowing). Tests will be necessary.

Installation and assembly

  • Sufficient conditioning is required prior to installation and assembly. The premises themselves need to be air-conditioned according to future use.
  • Please consider during construction and fitting that in ESD protection zones (EPA) the ESD work stations have to be earthed (same electrostatic potential of all elements). This can be achieved construcionally via a connection of the conductive elements of one EPA with an EPA-earth.
  • Conductive materials which are fitted insulating are rechargable and therefore a risk potential.
  • Please ensure that the material is processed and fitted correctly and using the best available technology.
  • Please contact your ESD consultant or use corresponding technical literature for further information and concrete realisation instructions.

Storage and handling

  • On all level surfaces (e.g. pallets), in dry, vented rooms.

Disposal

  • Energy recovery is recommended.
