In January 2015, Desco Industries, Inc., based in Chino, California, acquired the assets of the 3M Static Control business. This strategic acquisition positioned Desco Industries as the largest manufacturer of static control products in North America and led to the establishment of their newest brand, SCS.
SCS is a vertically integrated manufacturer that oversees every aspect of the production process, from raw materials to finished products. This integration provides SCS with unparalleled control over the supply chain, product development, manufacturing, and quality management. At our facility in Sanford, NC, we produce the widest range of static control shielding and barrier bags available in the market. Additionally, our manufacturing capabilities enable us to produce specialty films on-site, further expanding our product offerings.
By utilizing SCS products, electronic manufacturers can effectively manage their electrostatic discharge (ESD) programs. Our comprehensive range of equipment allows for the creation of an SCS Static Management Program, which includes test equipment and software to monitor real-time ESD control compliance. The Static Management Program (SMP) is specifically designed to enhance product quality, improve production yields, and increase overall reliability for our customers.
The products in this category refer to specialized cleaning products specifically designed for use in clean room environments, electronics laboratories, or production floors where stringent cleanliness and electrostatic discharge (ESD) control are essential. These products are meticulously crafted to meet the unique requirements of such controlled environments. One of the primary characteristics of these specialized cleaning products is their ability to minimize the release of lint or small fibers during use. This is crucial in environments where even tiny particles can cause contamination or damage to sensitive equipment and components. Additionally, these products are engineered to maintain a mild level of electrical conductivity on hard surfaces. This conductivity serves to mitigate the accumulation of static electric charge, thereby reducing the risk of ESD-related incidents that could potentially harm electronic devices or disrupt sensitive processes. By minimizing the release of lint and small fibers, these cleaning products help ensure a pristine, particle-free environment, which is vital for the optimal functioning of clean rooms, electronics laboratories, and production facilities. Moreover, their ability to sustain a mild degree of electrical conductivity on hard surfaces contributes to the overall ESD protection strategy, safeguarding sensitive electronic equipment and components from potential damage caused by static electricity. Overall, these specialized cleaning products play a critical role in maintaining the cleanliness and electrostatic control required in environments where precision, cleanliness, and ESD protection are paramount. Their unique features and capabilities make them indispensable tools for ensuring the integrity and reliability of operations in such specialized settings.
