ACL Staticide 2001-2 General Purpose Anti-Static Topical, 50-Gallon Drum
ACL Staticide 2001-2 General Purpose Anti-Static Topical, 50-Gallon Drum
ACL Staticide 2001-2 is the 50-gallon drum of General Purpose Staticide, a ready-to-use anti-static topical intended for non-porous surfaces. It helps prevent electrostatic charge buildup caused by friction, known as tribogeneration, in industrial manufacturing and static-sensitive environments. The bulk drum provides supply for high-volume, facility-approved spraying, wiping or dipping processes without changing the General Purpose formula.
Best Uses / Applications
- Non-porous workbenches and production surfaces in electronics manufacturing.
- Compatible bins, tote boxes, carriers and packaging surfaces used in component handling.
- High-volume surface-treatment programs requiring bulk supply.
- Printing, packaging and converting processes affected by static-related material jamming or slipping.
- Reducing electrostatic attraction of dust and dirt to treated surfaces.
- Revitalizing compatible anti-static mats after assessing condition and verifying treated performance.
Key Features
- 50-gallon drum for bulk surface-treatment needs.
- Ready-to-use formula, not a concentrate requiring routine dilution.
- Formulated from 99 parts water and 1 part Staticide 3000 Original Concentrate.
- Water-like viscosity for spraying, wiping or dipping.
- Manufacturer states non-flammable and non-staining.
- Proven effective in relative humidity below 15%.
- Manufacturer-reported static decay in less than 2 seconds.
- Treatment lasts weeks to months depending on application.

Best-Use Practices
- Review current ACL instructions, TDS and SDS before use.
- Use as supplied unless ACL specifically instructs otherwise; this product is already diluted.
- Confirm surface and process compatibility on a small area before broader treatment.
- Use facility-approved bulk handling and spraying, wiping or dipping procedures; follow manufacturer drying instructions.
- Do not apply directly to energized electronics or assume suitability for internal electronic assemblies.
- Verify treated-surface performance and reassess after cleaning, wear or handling. Do not assume a fixed reapplication interval.
- For packaging, test the treated material using the referenced method before claiming low-charging classification.
- Maintain required grounding and ESD controls. This topical does not replace a complete ESD program or establish explosion protection.
- Consult the SDS for handling and protective-equipment requirements; non-flammable does not mean hazard-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 2001-2 include?
A 50-gallon drum of ready-to-use General Purpose Staticide anti-static topical.
Is this a 54-gallon drum?
No. ACL lists General Purpose 2001-2 as 50 gallons. The 54-gallon drums in the Acrylic and Ultra II floor-finish families are different products.
Does it need dilution?
No routine dilution is needed. ACL describes it as ready-to-use, formulated from 99 parts water and 1 part Staticide 3000 Original Concentrate.
Which surfaces is it intended for?
Non-porous surfaces. Confirm compatibility with the specific material and process rather than assuming it works on every surface.
How much area can the drum cover?
ACL's current product page lists approximately 2,000 sq. ft. per gallon. Fifty gallons gives an estimated 100,000 sq. ft.; actual coverage varies with application.
Does it work in low humidity?
ACL states General Purpose Staticide is proven effective below 15% relative humidity. Verify treated performance in your operating environment.
How long does a treatment last?
ACL states weeks to months depending on application. Cleaning and handling can affect treatment; establish reapplication timing through performance checks.
Does it make packaging low charging?
Treated packaging can qualify as low charging under ANSI/ESD S541-2019 when tested according to ESD ADV11.21. Qualification depends on testing the treated material, not simply applying the product.
Is it a disinfectant or permanent ESD floor finish?
It is an anti-static topical, not presented here as a disinfectant or permanent floor finish. Reducing electrostatic attraction of contaminants does not establish antimicrobial efficacy.
Is it the same formula as 2001-5?
Yes. Both are General Purpose Staticide package options. 2001-5 is a 5-gallon pail; 2001-2 is a 50-gallon drum.
