• 3DXSTAT™ ESD PLA Filament

3DXSTAT™ ESD PLA is an advanced ESD-Safe compound designed for use in critical applications which require electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. Made using cutting-edge multi-wall carbon nanotube technology, state of the art compounding technology, and precision extrusion processes. Target surface resistance: 10^7 to 10^9 Ohm.

Benefits of PLA Include:

• Ideal for printing without a heated bed, no enclosure required
• Low shrinkage, warping, and easy printability, PLA prints on practically all desktop 3D printers
• Very low odor, perfect for printing in home or office environments
• Gorgeous surface quality to make printed parts look beautiful
• Made from plants makes PLA a renewable biopolymer
• Consistent surface resistivity
• Improved retention of impact & elongation
• Low particulate contamination
• Minimal contribution to outgassing and ionic contamination

Typical ESD PLA Applications Include:

• Semi-con: HDD Components, Wafer Handling, Jigs, Casings, & Connectors
• Industrial: Conveying, Metering, and Sensing Applications

Target Conductivity for 3DXSTAT ESD PLA:

• 10^7 to 10^9 ohm surface resistivity on 3DP sample using concentric ring test method.
• Note: Internal studies have indicated that increased extruder temperatures can achieve higher levels of conductivity. Likewise, lower extruder temperatures have resulted in lower levels of conductivity. Each printer is set-up differently as well as varied part geometry. Therefore, expect some trial time to understand how ESD PLA filament works in your specific printer / application
