PETG-ESD
An electrostatic-dissipative PETG thermoplastic used for durable FDM components designed to reduce static-charge accumulation around sensitive electronic devices and assemblies.
Material Overview
PETG-ESD is a modified PETG thermoplastic developed to dissipate electrostatic charge in electronic manufacturing, assembly, handling and storage applications. The PETG base provides useful toughness, layer adhesion and dimensional stability, while electrically active additives create a controlled path for static charge to dissipate. PETG-ESD should not be treated as an ordinary insulating PETG or as a highly conductive material. Final electrical and mechanical performance depends on the exact material grade, nozzle temperature, geometry, wall thickness, print orientation, surface condition and measurement method.
APPLICATION
Typical Part Types
PCB holders, carriers and electronic-component trays
Electronic equipment housings and protective covers
ESD-controlled jigs, fixtures and assembly aids
Test fixtures, inspection nests and positioning tools
Pick-and-place supports and component-handling interfaces
Storage bins, dividers and transport inserts for sensitive components
Robotic gripper fixtures used near static-sensitive devices
Manufacturing tools used in ESD-controlled work areas
Material Selection Note
PETG-ESD is suitable where the toughness and processability of PETG must be combined with controlled electrostatic dissipation. The PETG-ESD designation alone does not guarantee one universal resistance value or compliance with every ESD standard. Electrical performance can change with print temperature, orientation, geometry, wall thickness and surface contact. Gramm reviews the required resistance range, grounding method, electronic environment, mechanical load, operating temperature, geometry and validation requirements before manufacturing.
