When you hear “ESD coating,” most people picture a paint loaded with carbon or metal particles. But that’s exactly where conventional solutions fall short. The future lies in filler-free ESD coatings, and ProShieldESD is leading that shift.
Unlike traditional ESD paints and molded plastics that depend on conductive fillers, ProShieldESD uses a pure polymer backbone to deliver permanent, homogeneous static dissipation. It’s a technology that doesn’t just improve coatings — it transforms how industries approach ESD control.
Why Filler-Based Solutions Fail
Filler‑based ESD coatings and conductive plastics have long been the default—but they come with built-in compromises:
• Segregation & clustering: Conductive particles (carbon, metal) can shift or clump during mixing, altering performance.
• Variable conductivity: Rather than a uniform layer, resistivity varies across a surface — creating weak zones.
• Drift over time: Particles wear, get damaged, or shift, especially under stress or in low humidity.
• Limited retrofit potential: You can’t reliably convert existing surfaces with molded ESD plastics — you need custom parts or high-cost replacements.
How ProShieldESD Changes the Game
1. Conductivity built in, not added
ProShieldESD’s conductivity comes from a 100% conductive polymer matrix — no fillers, no additives. The result is a coating whose static control is intrinsic and integral, not surface-limited.
2. Multi-chemistry platform
What makes this even more powerful is that the same foundational technology can be adapted across chemistries — PU, epoxy, water-based, solvent-based — and still maintain the same performance. That’s the platform difference.
3. Universal retrofit
Existing assets like floors, walls, metal structures, plastics, foams, or cartons can be coated directly. There’s no need to replace with engineered parts or rework your infrastructure.
4. Stability under extremes
Unlike filler-based coatings that fail under low humidity or heavy use, ProShieldESD remains stable. It doesn’t drift. It doesn’t degrade. It doesn’t need reapplication.
Use Cases Across Industries
Because it’s a platform (not a single product), ProShieldESD’s filler-free coating adapts to multiple sectors:
• Electronics & Semiconductor — critical work surfaces, benches, ESD-safe trays
• Aerospace & Defence — composite structures, metal racks, test jigs
• Military & Rugged Systems — field-grade housings, transit cases
• Automotive & Battery — factory floors, battery enclosures
• Energy & Chemicals — piping, drums, containment vessels
• RF & Antenna — radomes, enclosures where signal integrity matters
• Packaging & Logistics — cartons, foams, crates
• Explosives & Pyrotechnics — safe work surfaces under low-humidity
These are examples, not limits — the platform extends where traditional coatings cannot.
Filler-Free vs Filler-Based: A Side-by-Side Comparison
| Aspect | Filler-Based Coatings / Plastics | Filler-Free (ProShieldESD Platform) |
| Dependence on particles | Yes (carbon, metal powders) | No — conductivity built into polymer backbone |
| Uniformity | Varies, prone to weak spots | Homogeneous across entire surface |
| Drift / degradation | Likely over time | Stable, permanent, low maintenance |
| Retrofit ability | Limited to purpose-made parts | Can be applied to existing assets |
| Humidity / environment impact | Sensitive, loses performance | Maintains conductivity in diverse conditions |
| Chemistry flexibility | Fixed for each formulation | Platform supports multiple chemistries |
The Bigger Picture: Platform Thinking
Yes — we’re talking filler-free coating techniques here. But what elevates it is positioning this as a platform — one that scales, adapts, and future-proofs static control solutions.
• The same technology underpins every variant (PU, epoxy, water-based, solvent-based).
• Performance doesn’t change even if the formulation does.
• It allows ESD control to be modular, systemic, and unified across operations.
That means less disruption, fewer specialty parts, and more reliability across your entire facility.
Getting Started
Transitioning to filler-free ESD control doesn’t require a total overhaul. ProShieldESD’s retrofit-friendly approach means you can roll out pilot sections — floors, benches, enclosures — and expand gradually, all while maintaining full operational continuity.
