Static prevention

Built for the things you can’t ground

Plastics, boxes, carpets and packaging build charge all day. Treat them, and the static has somewhere to go.

01
Coats the surfaceSpray it on and let it dry. It leaves an antistatic layer that cuts tribocharging and static buildup.
02
Cuts dust clingWith less static on the surface, dust and dirt stop clinging to it.
03
Nothing to contaminateContains no alcohol, ammonia, amines or silicones. Non-flammable and odorless.

How it works

A thin layer that lets charge bleed off

Insulative materials hold a charge because it has nowhere to go. A topical antistat gives it a path.

The ingredientQuaternary ammonium antistat

Antistats of this type are cationic and draw a trace of moisture from the air onto the surface. That makes the surface slightly conductive, so charge dissipates instead of building up.

Low humidityTested dry

Static is worst when the air is dry. That’s why the decay test was run at 12% relative humidity as well as 40%.

The bottleStatic-dissipative spray bottle

Sold in 16 oz and 32 oz static-dissipative blue spray bottles, because ordinary plastic spray bottles shouldn’t be used around static-sensitive components.

FAQ

What can I treat with it?
Plastics, boxes, carpets, fabrics, curtains, terminals, screens, handheld equipment and other static-generating materials. Spray it on liberally and let it dry thoroughly.
Does it replace grounding or wrist straps?
No. It supports an ANSI/ESD S20.20 program by treating insulative items that can’t be grounded. Keep your grounding, wrist straps and other controls in place.
How long does a treatment last?
It’s a temporary treatment, and we don’t publish a fixed re-treat interval. Tell us what you’re treating and how it’s handled, and we’ll help you set one.
Will it stain fabrics or carpet?
The formula is mild and made not to leave chemical stains, and it’s compatible with carpets, clothes and curtains.
What precautions are on the label?
Not to be taken internally. Keep out of reach of children, use adequate ventilation, avoid prolonged skin contact, and always wear safety glasses or goggles.
How should I store it?
Store it in a cool place in the original container, out of direct sunlight, and avoid temperatures above 115°F. It can be stored for up to 2 years from the date of manufacture.
What sizes are there?
16 oz and 32 oz static-dissipative blue spray bottles, and a 1 gallon refill.
Can I get samples, pricing or buy through GSA?
Yes. Request a free sample, ask about distributor and volume pricing, or buy through GSA MAS contract 47QSMS24D0078.

The details

A topical antistat for the things you can't ground

I.C. Topical Anti-Stat is a general-purpose antistat for static prevention in critical manufacturing, electronics and cleanroom environments. It is for ESD coordinators, bench techs and quality teams who have insulative items in the work area that can't be grounded: handheld equipment, plastics, boxes, packaging, carpets, fabrics, terminals and screens.

Spray it on and let it dry. It leaves an antistatic coating that helps dissipate static charge on insulative surfaces and reduces tribocharging and static build-up. Once applied, the coating also cuts static cling, so dust and dirt stop clinging to the surface. The water-based formula is made with DI water, filtered and UV treated, and contains no alcohol, ammonia, amines or silicones. It is non-flammable, will not leave chemical stains on carpets, clothes or curtains, and is formulated not to harm ESD mats or contaminate or corrode sensitive components.

Tested on treated insulative film, it decayed a 5 kV charge in an average of 0.07 seconds at 12% relative humidity, and the treated surface measured in the static dissipative range. It supports an ANSI/ESD S20.20 program alongside your grounding and wrist straps. I.C. Topical Anti-Stat is made in our FDA and EPA registered facility in Scottsdale, Arizona, and sold in 16 oz and 32 oz static-dissipative blue spray bottles and a gallon refill, direct, through distributors and on GSA MAS contract 47QSMS24D0078.
