3M manufacture a family of products made of black, volume conductive plastics under the tradename Velostat®. What is not so well known is that this product is simply a tradename, but the product itself is not under patent.
This means that these same products, sold under a different name can be yours for a much lower price than what you currently pay for your Velostat® products. Compare the technical properties of your Velostat® Tape to those found on the Technical Datasheet for CAPLINQ's LINQSTAT VCF-Series.

LINQSTAT™ VCF-Series is a black, carbon-filled, volume-conductive polyethylene film velostat alternative commonly used as a static control material in numerous semiconductor, electronics and Smartcard applications due to its easy-grounding nature. Examples of these applications include electrically conductive bags of protective sleeves for static-sensitive components, grounding mats or as interleavers between rolls of Smartcard (chipcard) modules. LINQSTAT has a standard thickness range from 50μm to 200μm (0.002” to 0.008”) and is available in sheeting, tubing, V-fold and C-fold versions. Roll lengths and widths vary depending on thickness and application. Other variations may be available. |
