Static Decay Performance C-300™ and C-350™ Static Dissipative Surfaces
Electrostatic Decay Analysis
Federal Test Standard 101C, Method 4046.1, as described in EIA-541, Appendix F, "Measurement of Electrostatic Decay Properties of Dissipative Planar Materials"
5,000 Volt Static Charge Decay
Static Dissipative Surfaced Plastics vs. General Use Plastics

Test Method
- Each test specimen is individually force charged to 5,000 volts ungrounded.
- Simultaneously, the applied voltage is shut off, the specimen grounded and a timing device started.
- The time for the specimen voltage to decay to technical 0 (less than 50 volts) is recorded.
Test Conditions
The test specimens are preconditioned for 48 hours at 23ºC + 3ºC and 12% + 3% relative humidity.
