Diamox ITO Coatings for Anti-Static Applications
Diamox specialises in vacuum-deposited clear Diamox ITO coatings for anti-static and ESD applications, supporting applications compliance with ATEX and other ESD test standards.
What are the ATEX Requirements
As of 20 April 2016, new ATEX regulations require that devices and equipment used in safety-critical or explosive atmospheres must be protected against static electricity / electrostatic charges which may cause dangerous discharges. One way to meet these requirements is through the application of high-quality anti-static coatings, such as Diamox Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) based coatings
- This regulation applies to all equipment with an effective source of ignition, intended for use within potentially explosive atmospheres, under normal atmospheric conditions.
- The anti-static coating must prevent dangerous discharge of electrostatic charge.
