ESD Challenges in Fluid Handling Systems: A Shock to the System 
- Why is the industry moving away from stainless steel to PFA materials for transporting process fluids?
- What about electrostatic discharge (ESD)?
In this webinar, you will learn:
- What impact this move is having on handling the high-purity materials required in advanced node technology
- What the safety risks are of static charge generation, accumulation, and harmful electrostatic discharge (ESD)
- How to defend against dangerous ESD in fluid handling systems
Join Dave Kemkes, Senior Product Marketing Manager, and Rick Lindblom, Director of Product Marketing Fluid Handling, as they discuss these topics and introduce Entegris’ new ESD solutions that are making a difference in preventing electrostatic charge buildup while moving process fluids through PFA fluid handling systems.
