Product Description 3M Antistatic Utility Tapes 40 Printed and Unprinted represent a breakthrough in pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape technology. This new tape, which generates less than 50 Volts on unwind and removal from stainless steel, helps prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to sensitive electronic components in manufacturing environments. Triboelectric charge may vary with your application and environment. Data Sheet July 2013 Product Features  Excellent Performance 3M 40 antistatic utility tape can be used at static-safeguard workstations as part of your total static control program. It generates very low levels of static charge even in dry conditions of 10% relative humidity (RH). The tape is supplied on a paper core; antistatic plastic cores are available to minimize particulate contamination in clean work areas.  Proprietary Technology 3M 40 antistatic utility tape is a transparent polyester film tape with acrylic adhesive. Made with a proprietary technology, the tape generates extremely low levels of triboelectric charge when it is unwound from the roll and also when removed from most surfaces on which it is placed. This makes the tape an excellent choice for use near electronic components and assemblies. The tape is supplied on 36-yard and 72-yard rolls on 1" and 3" cores.
