The R&R Lotion FD-1-ESD is a 2 oz., ESD-safe flux dispenser with a 26 gauge needle. R&R Lotion has developed a new process of molding polyethylene bottles with a concentrate that does not contain “ethoxylated tertiary amine,” which is widely used as an anti-static agent. These ESD-safe bottles have an average surface resistance of 10^9 to 10^10 and do not have the undesirable features associated with surfactant-laden material. The bottles dissipate a charge of ±5,000 volts in less than two seconds at 40% RH!

By their chemical nature, the bottles do not have any chemical reactivity with such solvents as TCE or alcohol. The pH of the DI-water solutions tested was the same before and after a seven-day period. No color change, or any other physical changes, were noted for any of the solvents tested.
