ESD MARKER
ESD markers (or ESD-safe pens) are specialized writing instruments made from dissipative materials, designed for safe use in EPA (Electrostatic Protected Areas) without generating static charges. Featuring anti-static bodies and, often,, permanent, low-residue ink, they are essential for labeling components in microelectronics and cleanroom environments.
Safety: Designed for EPA areas, often with yellow, blue, or marked casings for easy identification, according to ELMI.
Cleanroom Compatibility: Designed to minimize particle generation (low shedding) and outgassing, suitable for ISO-classified environments.
Usage: Used in high-tech labs, production lines, and by electronics manufacturers.
Cap Discipline: Keep capped when not in use to prevent ink dry-out.
Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are dry before marking to prevent smearing.
Contamination Control: Store in specialized, low-particle packaging when not in use.
