DUNMORE has announced that its film, DUN-SHIELD ESD, has been accepted by NASA as one of the primary materials used for securing electronic spacecraft parts from static electricity.
This film has received the approval after a series of tests at NASA for over a year and after frequent use by key contractors.
This new electrostatic dissipative film was specifically designed for packaging sensitive spacecraft device during production, storage and shipping in order to avoid the damage caused due to static electricity. This enhances the previous films with the advanced properties, which improve performance and durability. When the film is crinkled and folded, the strong vacuum-deposited aluminum surface of the film does not peel. Aluminum is evenly deposited by the vacuum coating method, which forms a purer coating.
DUN-SHIELD ESD film can seal the heat, enabling the technicians to alter envelopes and protective bags without using tape. The electrostatic dissipative property of the film makes it flexible and less prone to cause damage to a component from a non-electrostatic surface in contact with it.
DUNMORE is a provider of high-performance films used for the operational and production applications of aerospace industry. DUNMORE materials are used on the international space station, GRAIL and Juno programs of NASA and the Hubble Space Telescope.
John Jordon, Vice President of DUNMORE stated that the company has attained the industry’s highest standards, when the product is being used by NASA. DUNMORE films are used by NASA and its contractors for several years, on spacecraft and in production. Additional approval for the product has confirmed the versatility and quality of the materials.
