ANSI/ESD S20.20 requires that all nonessential insulators, such as those made of plastics and paper, must be removed from the workstation. Substituting antistatic tape for regular tape (a very high tribocharging insulator) protects your ESD susceptible products.
The user must determine the suitability for use of an antistatic tape for particular applications, and should reevaluate suitability one year after purchase date.
Note: Tapes store best when laid flat in a dry, well ventilated room with a reasonably consistent temperature of 20° C (68° F) and are protected from exposure to direct sunlight.
