Innovation from Decades of Research Excellence
Dr. S. Palaniappan brings over four decades of pioneering research in polymer science. As a retired Chief Scientist from the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT), Hyderabad, with a Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, his expertise spans advanced conducting polymer-based materials.
His research portfolio includes breakthrough developments in coatings, batteries, supercapacitors, sensors, solar cells, LEDs, drug delivery, and water purification. Now, this wealth of knowledge powers SVB SAFE ESD Paints—a revolutionary approach to electrostatic discharge protection.
Dr. Palaniappan serves as consultant to SCH Coating Solutions Pvt Ltd, bringing cutting-edge polymer technology to commercial applications.
Understanding Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects. Static electricity builds up when surfaces rub together, creating an excess of electrons on one surface and a deficiency on the other. This everyday phenomenon poses serious risks across industries.
Triboelectric Charging
Electric charges created when two materials contact and separate
Induction
Charged objects placed near conductive materials isolated from ground
Ion Bombardment
Contact with other charged objects transfers electrical energy
The Critical Dangers of Static Electricity
Static electricity creates severe productivity, quality, and safety problems throughout industry. As electrostatic attraction or repulsion, it generates dust contamination and product misbehavior. As discharge, it delivers shocks to operators, ignites fires, and destroys millions of electronic components annually.
Sparks & Fire Hazards
From thunderstorm-level discharges to low-intensity sparks that ignite flammable materials
Electronic Damage
Destroys sensitive components, causing millions in losses across manufacturing
Safety Risks
Operator shocks, explosions, and damage to life-critical equipment
Industries Requiring ESD Protection
Electronics Manufacturing
Protecting sensitive components during assembly, testing, and packaging operations
Medical & Pharmaceutical
Ensuring safety in cleanrooms and sensitive equipment environments
Manufacturing & Plastics
Preventing contamination and product damage during production processes
Packaging & Printing
Safeguarding products during storage, handling, and transportation
Textile Industry
Controlling static during fiber processing and fabric manufacturing
Paper Production
Managing static electricity in high-speed paper processing operations
Revolutionary Technology: Old vs. New
SVB SAFE ESD Paints represent a paradigm shift in electrostatic discharge protection. Unlike conventional ESD coatings that rely on carbon, metals, or metal oxides, this polymer-based innovation delivers superior performance across all metrics.
Room Temperature Process
Old: High temperature molding required
New: Easy coating at room temperature
Lightweight Solution
Old: Heavy molded articles
New: Significantly lighter weight
Low Loading Amount
Old: >20 wt.% loading required
New: Only ~3 wt.% needed
Superior Performance Advantages
Uniform Conductivity
Homogeneous coating with hopping mechanism vs. heterogeneous particle-to-particle contact
Permanent ESD Protection
Long-lasting durability compared to temporary conventional solutions
Multiple Color Options
Various colors available vs. limited black carbon-based coatings
Easy Maintenance
Simple repair by coating only damaged areas—no complete replacement needed
Indigenous Technology
Locally developed with readily available raw materials vs. expensive imports
Cost-Effective
Significantly cheaper than conventional ESD solutions
Versatile Applications Across Materials
SVB SAFE ESD Paints can be applied to virtually any surface, creating ESD-protected products at resistance levels from 10³ to 10⁸ ohm/sq. Our coatings work seamlessly on paper, plastic, wood, foam, metal, leather, floors, and walls—delivering consistent protection in various colors.
From cardboard boxes and PP sheets to corrugated materials, HIPS sheets, decolum sheets, L-folders, bins, crates, wood, EVA foam, and mild steel—our coatings deliver consistent ESD protection in brown, black, blue, green, ash, and custom colors.
