High Temp Tapes Company is the manufacturer of green esd polyester tape for electronics manufacturing, PCB process masking, cleanroom handling, and static-sensitive components. This ESD safe green PET tape combines static-dissipative PET film with silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive to help reduce charge build-up during unwind, placement, heating, and removal. It is made for temporary process protection where surface resistance, low residue after tested heat exposure, clean slit-edge quality, and stable handling near solder mask, gold fingers, connectors, fixtures, and electronic workstations all matter.

How does green esd polyester tape control static during PCB masking?
Green esd polyester tape helps control static by combining a static-dissipative PET film with smooth, controlled unwinding. During PCB process masking, charge may be created when the tape is pulled from the roll or peeled from the board surface. A typical surface resistance range of 10^6-10^9 ohm/sq helps charge dissipate in a controlled way instead of staying on the tape surface. For approval testing, production teams can observe unwind voltage, check whether the roll releases evenly, and test removal after heat on solder mask, gold fingers, connector areas, and fixtures. The silicone adhesive helps this anti static polyester masking tape remain stable during short thermal exposure while supporting low residue removal under tested process conditions.
Product Overview
This green esd polyester tape is produced for electronics lines that need cleaner temporary masking than ordinary high-temperature tape. In PCB assembly, the tape itself can become a source of static when it is pulled from the roll, pressed onto a board, or removed after a process step. To reduce that risk, the PET backing is treated for static-dissipative behavior, with a typical surface resistance range of 10^6-10^9 ohm/sq depending on the tested grade.
High Temp Tapes Company pays close attention to the small details that affect daily production use: smooth roll release, controlled unwinding, clean slit edges, silicone adhesive stability, and residue performance after short heat exposure. Common thickness options include 0.05 mm, 0.06 mm, 0.08 mm, and 0.1 mm, with selected constructions using a PET backing around 25 um. The adhesive is designed for temporary process holding, so it should support clean removal after proper heat testing instead of behaving like a permanent bonding layer.
For process approval, samples should be checked on the actual surfaces used in production, such as solder mask, gold fingers, connector areas, plastic housings, and fixture surfaces. Useful observations include visible stain, adhesive transfer, particle shedding from the slit edge, edge residue, dust attraction during handling, and adhesive stringing during removal. This is a static dissipative PET process tape, not a full conductive shielding tape unless a specific tested grade is supplied for that function.
What should production teams test before using ESD-safe PET tape in cleanroom electronics lines?
Before production approval, the tape should be tested under the same handling conditions used on the line. Useful checks include surface resistance on the film side, unwind voltage observation, particle shedding from the slit edge, adhesive stringing during removal, and residue after a short heat cycle. In cleanroom handling, the roll should unwind smoothly without aggressive snapping or visible dust attraction. On PCB or component surfaces, the tape should mask the required area, remove cleanly after heating, and leave no visible adhesive stain on solder mask, gold fingers, connectors, housings, or fixture surfaces. These checks help confirm whether the tape fits static-sensitive components and controlled electronics work areas.
FAQ
Is this tape fully conductive?
No. It is a static-dissipative PET process tape. It helps control charge build-up, but it should not be described as full conductive shielding unless a specific grade is tested for that function.
Can this tape be used after heat exposure?
Yes, selected grades are designed for short heat exposure around 180-200 C. Residue performance should be tested on the actual PCB surface, fixture material, and process temperature.
Is it suitable for cleanroom handling?
Yes. It is designed for clean handling with smooth unwinding, low particle observation, clean slit edges, and reduced dust attraction. Final suitability should follow the user’s internal cleanroom requirements.
Can the tape be supplied in narrow widths or die-cut shapes?
Yes. High Temp Tapes Company can produce slit rolls, die-cut pieces, release-liner formats, and jumbo rolls for PCB process masking and electronics manufacturing.
