Featured products
Zero Volt Ioniser
- The EMIT Benchtop Zero Volt Ioniser is a compact and lightweight steady state DC auto-balancing worksurface or multi-mount ioniser with integrated closed-loop feedback
- The unit can be placed at one end of the workbench or mounted to a wall or shelf, targeted at the area to be neutralised
- It is designed to neutralise electrostatic charges on insulators and isolated conductors in less than 2 seconds. It has a very low balance (offset voltage) of ±3V typical
Digital Surface Resistance Meter Kit
- Validates worksurfaces, flooring, garments and more per IEC 61340-5-1
- Large OLED display with resistance, temperature, humidity & test voltage
- Stores up to 100 measurements in internal memory
- Sets the 15-second electrification period per IEC test requirements
- Includes electrode spacers for repeatable testing
Desco Europe's Digital Surface Resistance Meter – Using Internal Memory
Up to 100 measurements may be stored and recalled from the meter's internal memory. This includes the resistance value, temperature, relative humidity and test voltage at the time of the measurement. Watch and learn how to use the internal memory
MENDA Blue Static Dissipative Flux Dispenser
Menda LDPE durAstatic® liquid dispensing flux bottles with needle tips are embossed with ESD symbol and are safe to use around static sensitive components.
Mini Zero Volt Ioniser (ZVI) 2
A compact ioniser for neutralising electrostatic charges on insulators and isolated conductors. Ideal for confined spaces such as in automated equipment.
Clear ESD Tape with Symbols and Yellow Stripe
A 48mm wide antistatic tape with ESD symbol. Ideal for container sealing, static shielding bag closure, holding DIP tubes, or for general use in the EPA.
Statfree DLR2 ESD Matting
A roll of 1.2 x 10m blue rubber matting. A 2mm thick ESD work surface, lightly textured, easy to clean, and heat (soldering iron) and chemical resistant.

ESD and what damage it can cause?
Before tackling how to control Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) in the electronics manufacturing or handling environment, and before you handle ESD sensitive devices, it is important to learn what it is and the damage it causes.
The role of employees in ESD Protection
People pose the biggest threat to ESD sensitive components. However, when properly trained, operators can become the key weapon in the fight against ESD. This post explains the role operators play in ESD Protection.
Creating an ESD Workstation
When referring to an “ESD Protected Area” or “EPA”, people imagine rooms or even whole factory floors with lots of workstations. However, often a simple ESD workstation is sufficient to protect ESD sensitive products.
The Difference between EOS and ESD
Electrical Overstress (EOS) has become a widely-used term in recent years. However, many people are still unsure what it is and how it differs from ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). This post intends to end the confusion.
