Antistatik

AntiStatik is a term used in electronics and consumer products to denote anti-static technologies and, in some cases, as a brand name for a line of anti-static products. It is not a single, universal entity.

In technical contexts, anti-static (also spelled "antistatic") refers to methods that prevent or dissipate static electricity to protect sensitive components from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Typical approaches include grounding conductors, using conductive or dissipative materials, humidity control, and ionization.

AntiStatik-branded products are commonly marketed for electronics manufacturing, assembly, and packaging. These may include anti-static mats and wrist straps, sprays and cleaners, anti-static bags and polybags, and anti-static floorings or work surfaces. Packaging made to resist charge buildup helps prevent component damage during handling and shipping.

The term also appears in culture in some contexts as a stylized brand or label, separate from the technical concept.

Standards and compliance are often cited with AntiStatik products, with references to ESD-control guidelines from organizations such as IEC and ANSI/ESD. See also electrostatic discharge and ESD standards.
