SIMCO’s Aerostat XC was designed for use with sensitive electronic components where 
electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a problem. It can be applied in inspection, testing, and 
assembly environments. The Aerostat XC can also be used where static electricity causes 
problems such as attraction of dirt to product, misalignment of small parts due to electrostatic 
"jumping", and undesirable adhesion of plastic films due to electrostatic charge.
