dichtol ESD is a true innovation in 3D printing: the first product to combine reliable sealing of additively manufactured components with electrostatic dissipation.
This not only seals 3D-printed components to make them gas- and watertight, but also makes them ESD-safe, ideal for electronics enclosures, fixtures, workpiece carriers, and technical components in sensitive production environments.
dichtol ESD is ready to use, requires no mixing, and does not need oven curing. Apply, let it penetrate & done. This creates a functional surface that seals pores and microstructures in 3D-printed parts while simultaneously protecting against electrostatic charging.
What is ESD?
Electrostatic discharge: the sudden release of stored electrical charge. Even a few volts can cause permanent, invisible damage to sensitive electronic components.
How does static electricity build up?
Electric charges accumulate on insulating surfaces due to friction and contact. Plastics do not dissipate this charge.
Hazards in 3D Printing
Common printing materials such as PA12, ABS, and PETG are electrical insulators. Their porous surfaces further exacerbate static charge buildup. There is no ESD protection.
ATEX and Explosion Protection
In areas containing flammable gases or dust, an ESD spark can act as an ignition source. Components used in such areas must be demonstrably conductive – this is required by law.
dichtol ESD provides dual protection: The product permanently seals pores and microstructures in 3D-printed parts while simultaneously making the surface electrostatic dissipative. This allows charges to be dissipated in a controlled manner, rather than building up uncontrollably or discharging suddenly. And all of this in a single step.
The component must be clean and free of dust, powder residue, and grease. Wear gloves and safety goggles before use.
Spray, brush, or roll.
The surface must be kept moist in accordance with the component’s geometry.
Dries on the surface in a few minutes. Fully cures at room temperature in 24 hours.
The ESD protection provided by dichtol ESD can be verified directly using a multimeter.
A standard multimeter shows the difference immediately. Treated side: conductive. Untreated side: no reading.
dichtol ESD provides ESD protection exactly where it’s needed. No expensive ESD-printed material is required.
Whether it’s plates, enclosures, or grids – dichtol ESD delivers consistent, reliable results across all geometries.
Anywhere where 3D printing intersects with electronics or ESD protection requirements.
For use in electronics assembly or in ESD-protected areas. Both airtight and conductive.
Sealed and ESD-safe for direct use near sensitive components and circuit boards.
Tools that come into direct contact with ESD-sensitive components receive the necessary protection with dichtol ESD.
Structural components straight from the printer. Suitable for sensitive manufacturing environments.
Storage containers for ESD-sensitive parts: moisture-tight and safe against static discharge.
In areas with explosive atmospheres, components must be conductive – dichtol ESD meets this requirement.
Sealing with dichtol ESD is suitable for all common printing processes, such as FDM, SLS, SLA, and MJF. Plastics, metals, and ceramics can be sealed as printing materials.
The product can be applied by brushing, rolling, or spraying. The most suitable method depends on the size and number of components to be sealed, as well as the equipment available at the customer’s site. It is important that the components are treated with dichtol for 3–5 minutes before they dry. dichtol ESD must be shaken or stirred before application to ensure even distribution of the particles.
With each coat of dichtol ESD, the color becomes darker, eventually turning black.
With each layer of dichtol ESD, more conductive particles are applied, which increases conductivity and reduces surface resistance.
It is difficult to tell whether dichtol ESD is evenly distributed on black components. For this reason, a blue-colored version, dichtol ESD blue, was developed.
We recommend allowing 24 hours for drying to ensure that the sealant is completely dry, even on walls several millimeters thick. The drying process can be accelerated by raising the temperature, for example, in an oven.
