Antistatic Spray for Sale in South Africa - In Stock at Communica

Why Use Antistatic Spray?

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) remains a leading cause of component failure in electronics labs, repair, and assembly environments across South Africa. Antistatic spray is specially formulated to temporarily neutralise static electricity on non-conductive surfaces such as workbenches, plastic sheeting, carpets, and packaging. Applying it reduces the risk of inadvertent zaps to sensitive integrated circuits, MOSFETs, relays, and PCB assemblies.

• Protects microcontrollers, sensors, and semiconductors
• Works on benches, floors, mats, chairs, shelving, and even plastics
• Essential for electronics repair, manufacturing, and ESD-controlled environments

Choosing the Right Antistatic Spray

When selecting an antistatic spray, consider the following:

• Application Surface: Check that the spray is compatible with the material (plastic, laminate, carpet, metal, etc.).
• Size & Coverage: Larger bottles are cost-effective for labs; aerosols provide easy spot application.
• Residue: Opt for formulations that leave minimal residue if working with optically clear or sensitive surfaces.
• Frequency: Some workspaces require daily reapplication, especially in very dry SA winters or high-turnover assembly lines.
• Brand Preference: Communica stocks brands such as Electrolube, Ambersil, and RS PRO for assured quality.

How to Apply Antistatic Spray

1. Shake the spray bottle or can as per instructions.
2. Hold approximately 20-30cm from the surface.
3. Spray a light, even coat.
4. Allow to dry completely before use (usually a few minutes).
5. Repeat as recommended, particularly in high-traffic or low-humidity environments.
