What is ESD tape?

ESD safe tape is primarily used as a safety device, so that you can reduce the risk of contamination of your products. Where equipment contains a semiconductor, such as a memory chip, ESD control is needed so that it is not damaged, and ESD safe tape provides one way of managing the risk. It is often used in addition to storing the equipment in a clean room.
