Why ProShieldESD Coating Platform Chemistries Provide Limitless ESD Control

Advanced Conductive Polymers Deliver Proven Reliability

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection has often been limited to fixed products such as a single paint, resin, or plastic. As a result, this restricts both performance and flexibility. In contrast, the ProShieldESD coating platform chemistriestake a different approach — delivering stable, permanent ESD control across multiple formats rather than tying you to one product.

Importantly, each chemistry is built on the same permanent, filler-free conductive polymer backbone. This meansconductivity is not dependent on carbon fillers or metal powders that can clump, wear, or interfere with signals. Instead,ProShieldESD provides intrinsic static control that stays consistent across chemistries, substrates, and industries.

Currently, ProShieldESD is available in polyurethane, epoxy, water-based, and solvent-based coatings. However, these are only the current examples, not limitations. Looking ahead, as new processes and sectors demand solutions, the platform can extend to additional chemistries and surfaces without ever compromising performance.

ProShieldESD coating platform chemistries — polyurethane, epoxy, water-based and solvent-based coatings for permanent ESD control

Why Chemistries Matter

Different industries need different finishes, yet all require the same permanent ESD performance. However, traditional coatings make you compromise: you pick a chemistry and then hope its fillers stay evenly distributed. By contrast, with ProShieldESD, you select the chemistry that matches your process, and at the same time you gain the assurance that static control will always remain consistent.

Current Chemistries & Example Uses

Polyurethane (PU)

Flexible, resilient, and impact resistant.

✅ EVA foams, flexible plastics, wearable equipment
✅ Tool handles, grips, housings for handhelds
✅ Protective cases and lightweight fixtures

Epoxy

Hard-wearing and highly adhesive.

✅ Factory floors and mezzanines
✅ Metal racks, frames, and fixtures
✅ Test benches, heavy industrial environments

Water-Based

Eco-friendly, low VOC, safe for sensitive sites.

✅ Cardboard, paper, and cartons
✅ Cleanroom walls, ceilings, and partitions
✅ Wood, fibreboards, and porous surfaces

Solvent-Based

Durable in harsh or outdoor environments.

✅ Plastics, housings, and enclosures
✅ Pipes, drums, and conduits in chemical plants
✅ Outdoor structures and exposed facilities

Beyond Chemistry: Industry Applications

Because ProShieldESD is a platform, these chemistries are just a delivery system for limitless applications. Current sectors already using or trialling ProShieldESD include:

✅ Electronics & Semiconductor — tools, fixtures, trays, packaging, workbenches
✅ Aerospace & Defence — composites, test rigs, aircraft panels, mission hardware
✅ Military & Ruggedised Equipment — housings, vehicle systems, transit cases
✅ RF & Antenna Systems — radomes, antenna housings, RF test chambers; filler-free design means static dissipation without signal attenuation
✅ Pharma & Healthcare — cleanroom walls, equipment housings, railings, sterile areas
✅ Automotive & Battery — gigafactory floors, racks, EV module enclosures
✅ Energy & Chemicals — pipes, drums, vessels in volatile areas
✅ Packaging & Logistics — cartons, foams, crates, reusable ESD packaging
✅ Explosives & Pyrotechnics — bins, crates, work surfaces for safe static discharge

These are illustrative, not limits — the platform extends anywhere static control is needed.

The ProShieldESD Coating Platform Chemistries Advantage

By treating chemistry as a modular layer on top of a unified conductive backbone, ProShieldESD makes static control:

✅ Consistent — same performance across PU, epoxy, water-based, solvent-based
✅ Scalable — from single parts to whole facilities
✅ Retrofit-friendly — apply to existing assets, don’t replace them
✅ Future-proof — new chemistries can be developed without performance drift
✅ Safe for RF — filler-free design means no carbon or metal particles to block or detune signals

Choosing a Chemistry Today

When selecting a format, match it to your process or substrate:

Criteria	Suggested Format
Flexible substrates, foams, wearable parts	Polyurethane
Heavy duty, high abrasion zones	Epoxy
Eco / low VOC or packaging	Water-based
Harsh, outdoor, or chemical exposure	Solvent-based

All will deliver identical ESD performance — your choice is about application fit, not electrical compromise.
