AC-300™ Cast acrylic is easily fabricated into flat surface configurations. It should not be used for heat-formed bent configurations. AC-300™ is manufactured from premium quality cast acrylic sheets which is optically virtually distortion free. Consequently, it is widely used in clean rooms by the semiconductor, electronic, micro-manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and biomedical industries.
AC-300™ Acrylic is a plastic sheet product that controls static electricity in many applications, including windows, doors, machine covers and enclosures, and fabricated desiccators and cabinets. It is a premium quality acrylic sheet coated with SciCron Technologies clear, C-300™ static dissipative coating which prevents charge generation on the sheet surfaces. This controls particulate attraction and prevents electrostatic discharge (ESD) events completely independent of humidity. AC-300 Acrylic fabricates simply, is light in weight and is available in large sheet sizes. It has excellent optical properties, chemical resistance, surface hardness and mar resistance.
Key Properties
- Cannot be tribocharged when properly grounded - Prevents build-up of static charge and accumulation of harmful contamination.
- Electrostatic decay in less than 0.05 second per Federal Test Standard 101C, Method 4046.1- Results in rapid static dissipation without arcing.
- Surface resistivity of 10^6 to 10^8 ohms per square - Provides for ESD control without the need for ionization.
- Permanence in static dissipation performance - Avoids cost of application of temporary topical anti-stats.
- Humidity independent static charge control - Avoids inconvenience of maintaining high levels of humidity and damage caused by such humidity.
- Advanced technology, uniform surface treatment - Avoids conductive discontinuities (charged "hot spots") often found with non-uniform temporary topical anti-stats.
- Excellent optical properties - C-300 surface provides excellent clarity for optimum use of available light.
- Superior chemical resistance- Reduces risk of solvent or chemical surface damage.
- Hard, mar resistant, durable surface - C-300 surface, harder than the base plastic, reduces risk of damage to the sheet surfaces.
- Superior fabrication characteristics - Results in optimum workability during part fabrication.
