hi, we use a blower that passes ionized air over the tape when we unwind it, and it's unwound pretty slowly. phil -----Original Message----- From: Rich Lasko [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2001 12:35 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Kapton Tape and ESD Concerns Good afternoon everyone, We did an evaluation of Kapton tape and ESD concerns and found that by pulling the tape off of the reel we were able to generate over 1100 volts (as measured by the 3M 711 Charge Analyzer. Does anyone else have any experience with Kapton tape and ESD concerns? What are the alternatives? Any historical problems with Kapton and ESD? We typically use the Kapton for masking gold fingers. Any help is appreciated.
