Trizod™ OP is an Optically Clear Polished, ultraviolet-stabilized polycarbonate sheet specially engineered for superior optical performance. It also offers improved flammability performance over General Purpose PC. Its UL94 flammabaility rating is V2 at a thickness of 1.5 mm (0.059") and 3.0 mm (0.118") and V0 at a thickness of 6.0 mm (0.236"). Trizod™ OP-ESD is designed for applications requiring high optics, excellent impact strength, outstanding clarity, and UV resistance. Trident's proprietary annealing process improves characteristics such as strength, chemical resistance, and increases dimensional stability over a wide temperature range which allows extensive machining to ensure tight tolerances.

Trizod™OP ESD Polycarbonate resists tribocharging under all circumstances and cannot generate a charge when properly grounded. This makes it ideal for use in manufacturing and assembly operations for charge sensitive electronic components where it can help prevent both immediate and latent ESD caused defects. Since it resists charge build-up it does not attract contaminants, so it can also help prevent contamination-related rejects in ultra-clean manufacturing operations. Consequently, it is suitable for use in the semi-conductor, electronic, and micro-manufacturing industries. Typical applications include; guards, covers, windows, doors, and access panels for electronic equipment, assembly machines and instruments; conveyor line covers; transparent room partitions; process equipment enclosures; and mini-environment glazing panels. The product also has many general industrial uses, including protection for static charge sensitive manufacturing devices and control of spark discharge in explosive environments.

Features and Benefits
• Cannot be tribocharged when properly grounded prevents build-up of static charge and accumulation of harmful contamination.
• Electrostatic decay in less than 0.05 second per Federal Test Standard 101C Method 4046.1 Results in rapid static dissipation without arcing.
• Surface resistivity of 106 - 108 ohms per square Provides for ESD control without the need for ionization.
• Permanence in static dissipation performance Avoids cost of application of temporary topical anti-stats.
• Humidity independent static charge control Avoids inconvenience of maintaining high levels of humidity and damage caused by such humidity.
• Advanced technology, uniform surface treatment Avoids conductive discontinuities (charged “hot spots”) often found with non uniform temporary topical anti-stats.
• Superior impact resistance. Provides exceptional shatter resistance for safety.
• Superior flame spread properties. Provides additional protection for equipment in a fire.
• Hard, mar resistant, durable surface C-300™ surface, harder than the base plastic reduces risk of damage to the sheet surfaces.
• Superior chemical resistance. Reduces risk of solvent or chemical surface damage.
• Excellent clarity. Premium optical quality polycarbonate with clear C-300 surface minimizes visible distortion.
