"DK" Static Dissipative PEEK - Switzerland
	Static dissipative - surface resistivity 107-109 Ohm/sq. "DK" PEEK tweezers are very hard and rigid with a higher heat capacity of 260-300°C. Excellent resistance to chemicals, aggressive agents and thermal aging. Typical applications include handling of EOS/ESD sensitive components and handling of components during thermal, chemical and soldering processes. "DK" PEEK tweezers are extensively ESD tested including "Peak Transient Current Discharge" analysis for Class 0 CDM compliance. Material Data Sheet \| Chemical Compatibility Chart

"TD" Static Dissipative Polymer - Switzerland
	Static dissipative - surface resistivity - 10⁷- 10⁹ Ohm/sq. "TD" Polymer tweezers are very hard and rigid. High heat capability 200-230°C. Excellent chemical resistance to organic solvents, oils, grease, fuels, acids and alkalis. Very low moisture absorption. Typical applications include handling of EOS/ESD sensitive components and handling of components during thermal, chemical and soldering processes. "TD" Polymer tweezers are extensively ESD tested including "Peak Transient Current Discharge" analysis for Class 0 CDM compliance. Material Data Sheet \| Chemical Compatibility Chart

"KD" Static Dissipative Ceramic - Switzerland
	ESD safe static dissipative material - surface resistivity - 10⁷- 10⁹ Ohm/sq. A superior combination of high strength (from zirconia) and high hardness (from alumina). No open porosity, very hard surface with good abrasion and wear resistance. Excellent thermal properties and high temperature stability. Extreme corrosion resistance, nearly chemically inert. Typical applications include handling of EOS/ESD sensitive components and handling of components during thermal, chemical and soldering processes. Generally used when very rigid tips are required. "KD" Ceramic tweezers are extensively ESD tested including "Peak Transient Current Discharge" analysis for Class 0 CDM compliance. Material Data Sheet \| Chemical Compatibility Chart
