Anti-static tape protects static-sensitive devices by dissipating electrostatic charges-leveraging its conductive or dissipative material properties-to prevent static buildup. Its operation involves specific electrical parameters: the film's surface resistance ranges from 1 × 10⁹ to less than 1 × 10¹¹ ohms, and the average voltage generated by static electricity on the film surface is 80 volts.

The core characteristics of anti-static tape encompass electrical properties, physical and mechanical properties, environmental resistance, and safety and compliance. Regarding safety and compliance, the tape meets relevant electrostatic protection standards (such as EN 61340-5-1) and may feature Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) warning symbols. Depending on the material and application, anti-static tapes are primarily categorized into types such as ESD conductive tape, ESD grid tape, and ESD packaging tape.
