Techcon Systems, BFGoodrich Deal Helps Create Dispensing Systems That Control ESD

GARDEN GROVE, CA — September 22, 2000 — As a result of a new partnership with BFGoodrich Static Control Polymers (Brecksville, OH), Techcon Systems has been able to create a non-carbon loaded fluid dispensing system that controls ESD, a system which should benefit several cleanroom industries.

Under the recently penned agreement, Techcon Systems has acquired exclusive rights to use BFGoodrich’s StatRite polymer alloys, which combine proprietary conductive polymer with base polymers to create permanent, uniform static dissipation. While the dispensing system is translucent, which allows the user to measure liquid levels accurately, it also has UV protective properties that are needed in many applications.

According to officials, the new system offers a significant improvement over previous methods. The system is expected to be a boon to industries such as disk drive manufacturing and electronics that require protection from static events and must be able to accurately measure fluids such as adhesives, rubber, plastics, lubricants, coatings and composites.

“[With carbon] everything would get black and you couldn’t regulate control,” said Andrea Robert, president of AR Marketing. “With this, the barrels are nice and clean, and they’re translucent.”
