ACL Staticide 6500 ESD Safety Shield, 8 oz. can
ACL Staticide 6500 ESD Safety Shield Anti-Static Aerosol Coating, 8 oz Can
The ACL Staticide 6500 ESD Safety Shield is a water-based anti-static aerosol coating for common plastics, providing a surface resistance of 10⁶–10⁹ ohms for ESD control on plastic parts, bins, shelving, and surfaces. The 6500 aerosol formula is designed for applications on acrylic, PET, PETG, PVC, and polycarbonate — the same chemistry as the ACL 6300 liquid formula but in a convenient aerosol container for easy spot application and touch-up without brushes or applicators. A light spray application is sufficient for excellent electrical performance; coating cures at ambient temperature with no heat required. Humidity independent — maintains ESD performance across a wide range of relative humidity levels, unlike ionic anti-static treatments that lose effectiveness in low-humidity environments. Translucent finish without appearing milky, preserving the appearance of treated surfaces. Intended for indoor use. Electrical performance lasts at least 2 years per ACL Staticide testing. Sold individually.
Sold individually (1 × 8 oz aerosol can).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ACL Staticide 6500 and ACL Staticide 6300?
The 6500 and 6300 use the same anti-static chemistry and provide the same surface resistance range (10⁶–10⁹ ohms) on the same compatible substrates. The difference is the container format: the 6300 is a liquid formula applied by brush, wipe, or spray equipment for larger surface areas or production-volume applications; the 6500 is an aerosol can for convenient spot application, touch-up, and small-area treatment without brushes or applicators. Choose the 6500 for maintenance, touch-up, and small-area applications; choose the 6300 for larger-volume or production-line applications.
Why is humidity independence important for an ESD coating?
Many ionic anti-static treatments rely on moisture in the air to conduct static charge — their effectiveness drops significantly in low-humidity environments (below 30–40% RH), which are common in air-conditioned electronics manufacturing facilities and during winter months. The ACL Staticide 6500 is humidity independent, maintaining its 10⁶–10⁹ ohm surface resistance across a wide range of relative humidity levels without requiring elevated humidity to perform.
What plastics is the ACL Staticide 6500 compatible with?
The 6500 is designed for common plastics including acrylic, PET, PETG, PVC, and polycarbonate — materials commonly used for ESD-sensitive bins, trays, shelving, and enclosures in electronics manufacturing and assembly environments. For compatibility with other substrates, refer to the Technical Data Sheet or contact MTE Solutions.
How long does the ESD coating last after application?
ACL Staticide testing shows electrical performance lasting at least 2 years under normal indoor use conditions. Performance life may vary depending on surface cleaning frequency, cleaning solutions used, and environmental conditions. Reapplication is recommended if surface resistance measurements exceed the 10⁹ ohm threshold during periodic ESD audits.
