durAstatic One-Touch Dispenser 240 ml, blue, Printed for IPA, Dissipative - Desco 35289

Solvents such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA) should sit at the ESD workstation in a dissipative container that releases only what the job needs. This Menda One-Touch dispenser made of durAstatic HDPE delivers about 0.2 ml with one press on the dish, and the bottle has a resistance Rtt of 1 x 10⁴ to < 1 x 10¹¹ ohms. The printed "IPA" marking identifies the contents, so no extra label is needed.

Key benefits

• Permanently dissipative: Rtt 1 x 10⁴ to < 1 x 10¹¹ ohms, with no migratory additives that could contaminate assemblies or solder joints.
• Fast charge decay of less than 2 seconds, tested per IEC 61340-2-3:2016.
• One-handed use: press a swab or brush into the dish to get about 0.2 ml per stroke. Excess fluid drains back into the bottle through the opening in the centre of the dish.
• The spring-loaded lid of the stainless steel pump stays open or closed and keeps evaporation and odours down.
• Blue bottle with printed contents and embossed ESD protective symbol helps avoid mix-ups at the bench.

Applications

Wetting swabs, brushes and wipes with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) when cleaning PCBs, removing flux residue and during rework at soldering stations inside the EPA. Bottle colours make it easy to keep several fluids apart at one workstation.

Standards

Resistance tested per ANSI/ESD STM11.12, charge decay per IEC 61340-2-3:2016. The bottle follows the principle of the ESD Handbook TR20.20 to replace insulative items at the workstation with dissipative ones.
