The Desco Ion Python neutralizing hand gun is a ready-to-use unit designed for use in applications and areas where static can create manufacturing or handling problems. These units quickly and effectively neutralize bulk static charges and aid in controlling contamination by dislodging dust and debris attracted by static electricity. Airflow may be easily adjusted from a gentle stream to a powerful blast. These units are designed for use in applications and areas where electrostatic attraction contamination create manufacturing or handling problems. - Ionizers are useful in preventing electrostatic charge generation, electrostatic discharge, electrostatic attraction, as well as preventing equipment latch-up and safety related shock. ANSI/ESD S20.20 Paragraph 6.2.3.1 protected areas requirement states, Ionization or other charge mitigating techniques shall be used at the workstation to neutralize electrostatic fields on all process essential insulators if the electrostatic field is considered a threat. Ionization is used to neutralize charges on process necessary insulators and isolated semiconductors.
