Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is non-negotiable in industries such as electronics manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and medical devices. For decades, two common approaches have dominated: molded ESD solutions (like carbon-filled boxes) and filler-based ESD paints. On paper, both seemed like effective answers. In practice, they’ve proven costly, inconsistent, and difficult to scale.
At SCH Services, we experienced these frustrations first-hand. That’s why we created ProShield ESD—a permanent, polymer-based dissipative coating that replaces outdated molded and filler-based technologies once and for all.
The Problems with Traditional ESD Solutions
1. Molded Carbon Boxes and Plastics
Carbon-filled molded solutions are heavy, expensive to produce, and limited to specific applications. Their conductivity degrades over time, and the one-size-fits-all approach leaves little flexibility for custom requirements.
2. Filler-Based ESD Paints
Most ESD paints rely on carbon or metal fillers for conductivity. These fillers wear down, clump, or flake, creating patchy protection, contamination risks, and compliance issues in sensitive environments. The paints themselves are expensive—and frequent reapplication only multiplies lifecycle costs.
3. Limited Versatility
Neither molded boxes nor traditional paints perform well across diverse substrates such as plastics, foams, packaging, or floors, making it hard to standardise static protection throughout a facility.
How We Solved It with ProShield ESD
ProShield ESD is a next-generation polymer-based dissipative coating. Unlike molded boxes or filler paints, it delivers uniform, permanent protection without performance trade-offs.
Key Advantages:
- Permanent Static Protection – No degradation, no reapplication, no downtime.
- Cost Savings – Lower upfront and lifecycle costs compared to molded boxes and ESD paints.
- Wide Compatibility – Effective on plastics, foams, packaging, and even floors.
- Clean and Reliable – No carbon or metal fillers, eliminating contamination risks.
- Sustainable – Reduces waste, material use, and environmental impact.
Benefits Across Industries
Whether in electronics assembly, aerospace, automotive, or medical devices, ProShield ESD provides:
- Long-term reliability with maintenance-free performance.
- Reduced costs compared to molded or painted solutions.
- Flexible application across multiple substrates and processes.
Conclusion: Moving Beyond Outdated ESD Protection
The old ways—carbon boxes, molded plastics, and filler-based paints—are no longer fit for purpose. They’re expensive, inconsistent, and restrictive.
ProShield ESD changes everything. With a permanent polymer coating that’s versatile, cost-effective, and contamination-free, industries can finally move beyond outdated solutions and embrace a smarter, more sustainable approach to static control.
