SVB SAFE ESD Paints

Next-Generation Static Protection Technology

Protecting Equipment. Enhancing Safety. Empowering People.

Innovation from Decades of Research Excellence

Dr. S. PALANIAPPAN brings over four decades of pioneering research in polymer science. As a retired Chief Scientist from the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT), Hyderabad, with a Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, his expertise spans advanced conducting polymer-based materials.

His research portfolio includes breakthrough developments in coatings, batteries, supercapacitors, sensors, solar cells, LEDs, drug delivery, and water purification. Now, this wealth of knowledge powers SVB SAFE ESD Paints—a revolutionary approach to electrostatic discharge protection.



Versatile Applications Across Materials

SVB SAFE ESD Paints can be applied to virtually any surface, creating ESD-protected products at resistance levels from 10³ to 10⁸ ohm/sq. Our coatings work seamlessly on wood, plastic, metal, leather, mats, and walls—delivering consistent protection in various colors.

From HIPS sheets, decolum sheets, L-folders, wood, PU foam, brush, and mild steel—our coatings deliver consistent ESD protection in brown, black, blue, green, ash, and custom colors.

Understanding Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects. Static electricity builds up when surfaces rub together, creating an excess of electrons on one surface and a deficiency on the other. This everyday phenomenon poses serious risks across industries.

Triboelectric Charging

Electric charges created when two materials contact and separate

Induction

Charged objects placed near conductive materials isolated from ground

Ion Bombardment

Contact with other charged objects transfers electrical energy

The Critical Dangers of Static Electricity

Static electricity creates severe productivity, quality, and safety problems throughout industry. As electrostatic attraction or repulsion, it generates dust contamination and product misbehavior. As discharge, it delivers shocks to operators, ignites fires, and destroys millions of electronic components annually.

Sparks & Fire Hazards

From thunderstorm-level discharges to low-intensity sparks that ignite flammable materials

Electronic Damage

Destroys sensitive components, causing millions in losses across manufacturing

Safety Risks

Operator shocks, explosions, and damage to life-critical equipment

Industries Requiring ESD Protection

Electronics Manufacturing

Protecting sensitive components during assembly, testing, and packaging operations

Medical & Pharmaceutical

Ensuring safety in cleanrooms and sensitive equipment environments

Manufacturing & Plastics

Preventing contamination and product damage during production processes

Packaging & Printing

Safeguarding products during storage, handling, and transportation

Textile Industry

Controlling static during fiber processing and fabric manufacturing

Paper Production

Managing static electricity in high-speed paper processing operations

Revolutionary Technology: Old vs. New

SVB SAFE ESD Paints represent a paradigm shift in electrostatic discharge protection. Unlike conventional ESD coatings that rely on carbon, metals, or metal oxides, this polymer-based innovation delivers superior performance across all metrics.

Room Temperature Process

Old: High temperature molding required

New: Easy coating at room temperature

Lightweight Solution

Old: Heavy molded articles

New: Significantly lighter weight

Low Loading Amount

Old: >20 wt.% loading required

New: Only ~3 wt.% needed

Superior Performance Advantages

Uniform Conductivity

Homogeneous coating with hopping mechanism vs. heterogeneous particle-to-particle contact

Permanent ESD Protection

Long-lasting durability compared to temporary conventional solutions

Multiple Color Options

Various colors available vs. limited black carbon-based coatings

Easy Maintenance

Simple repair by coating only damaged areas—no complete replacement needed

Indigenous Technology

Locally developed with readily available raw materials vs. expensive imports

Cost-Effective

Significantly cheaper than conventional ESD solutions
