ABS-ESD7 is an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene material with carbon additives that provide electrostatic dissipative (ESD) properties. This specialized material prevents static charge buildup, making it ideal for applications where static electricity could damage electronic components, alter magnetic media, or cause safety hazards. ABS-ESD7 will not produce static discharge or attract materials like powders, dust, and fine particles.
ABS-ESD7 combines the proven mechanical properties and ease of processing of standard ABS with carbon additives that provide reliable electrostatic dissipative (ESD) properties. With a surface resistance of 10⁷ Ω/sq, this material safely dissipates static charges within milliseconds, preventing damage to sensitive electronic components. The material maintains excellent dimensional stability, good impact resistance (43 J/m notched Izod), and strong layer adhesion while providing consistent ESD protection throughout the part. Forge Labs processes ABS-ESD7 on industrial Stratasys Fortus systems, ensuring repeatable ESD properties and tight tolerances (±0.25%) essential for precision electronic manufacturing applications. The material comes in a distinctive black color due to carbon content and requires no additional ESD coatings or treatments.
ABS-ESD7 combines consistent esd protection with 10⁷ ω/sq surface resistance and fast static dissipation within 2 seconds, delivering maintains mechanical properties of standard abs for demanding applications. From rapid prototyping to production runs, teams rely on ABS-ESD7 to maintain tight tolerances while reducing assembly complexity through consolidated part designs.
ABS-ESD7 integrates carbon additives into FDM processing to achieve reliable 10⁷ Ω/sq surface resistance for electronics manufacturing applications. The Stratasys Fortus platform maintains consistent ESD properties throughout each part while preserving ABS's 36 MPa tensile strength and impact resistance. With static dissipation under 2 seconds and charge generation below 200V, this material protects sensitive components during assembly and testing. The carbon-enhanced formulation requires no secondary coatings, providing permanent ESD protection ideal for semiconductor handling equipment, PCB test fixtures, and cleanroom-compatible tooling where static control is mission-critical.
