INSOURCES EXIM PVT LTD is a manufacturer of ESD polyimide film in India, supplying anti-static kapton-type PI film in 25 μm, 50 μm and 125 μm thicknesses to PCB manufacturers, electronics assembly plants and semiconductor cleanrooms across India and internationally. ESD polyimide film provides controlled static dissipation (surface resistance 10⁵–10⁹ Ω) and leaves no adhesive residue after removal — making it the preferred protective film for PCB wave soldering and handling of ESD-sensitive components.

Whether you are looking for anti-static polyimide film or a kapton-type film for wave soldering protection, INSOURCES supplies all three thicknesses directly from our Bhiwandi facility with 2–5 working day lead times and custom slit widths available.

What is ESD Polyimide Film?

ESD polyimide film is a functional kapton-type polyimide film with a specially treated surface that provides controlled electrostatic discharge dissipation. The surface resistance of 10⁵–10⁹ Ω places it firmly in the static dissipative range — fast enough to safely bleed static charges but not so conductive as to risk short circuits in sensitive components.

Unlike adhesive ESD tapes, ESD polyimide film leaves no adhesive residue after removal from PCBs — critical for maintaining clean board surfaces in electronics production.

Base Material Kapton-type polyimide film with ESD surface treatment
ESD Surface Resistance 10⁵ ~ 10⁹ Ω — static dissipative range
Adhesive Residue None — clean removal from PCBs
Temperature Range -269°C to +400°C
Flame Retardancy UL 94 V-0, halogen-free, RoHS/REACH compliant

Frequently Asked Questions — ESD Polyimide Film

What is ESD polyimide film and what is it used for?
ESD polyimide film is an anti-static kapton-type PI film used to protect PCBs during wave soldering, handle ESD-sensitive electronic components in cleanrooms and provide static-dissipative protection wherever standard polyimide film's high-temperature performance is also needed. Surface resistance: 10⁵–10⁹ Ω. No adhesive residue on removal.
Does ESD polyimide film leave adhesive residue?
No. ESD polyimide film leaves no adhesive residue after removal from PCBs — this is a key advantage over conventional ESD adhesive tapes. The anti-static treatment is on the film surface itself, not an adhesive layer.
Is ESD polyimide film a kapton-type film?
Yes. ESD polyimide film uses the same PMDA-ODA kapton-type polyimide base as standard HN film, with an ESD surface treatment applied. It has the same temperature range (-269°C to 400°C) and similar electrical and mechanical properties.
What is the price of ESD polyimide film in India?
Price depends on thickness (25/50/125 μm), width and order quantity. Contact us at info@insrcs.com or WhatsApp +91 7276671876 for pricing on ESD polyimide film in India.
