Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this pen safe for cleanroom use?
Yes, the materials are chosen for their dissipative properties, making them suitable for many controlled technical environments.
Can I use standard pen refills with this product?
The pen is designed for a standard quality cartridge; verify that the refill matches the physical dimensions of the original.
Does the pen require any grounding wires?
No, the pen is constructed from dissipative material and does not require active grounding.
How should I store the pen?
Store in a clean, dry area away from direct heat or harsh chemicals to preserve the integrity of the thermoplastic casing.
Is the ink itself ESD safe?
The primary safety feature is the barrel material, which ensures that static charges are not built up and discharged through the user or the pen during handling.
Troubleshooting
Pen stops writing consistently
Check if the ink supply is depleted and replace the internal cartridge with a compatible standard replacement.
Visible surface buildup on the pen barrel
Wipe the exterior with a clean, lint-free cloth dampened with deionized water to remove dust or debris without affecting ESD properties.
