What protection is provided by the anti-static feature on 3M™ computer filters?
An electrical charge can build up uniformly over a non-conductive glass surface, such as a computer monitor. Conductive coatings with proper earth ground provide a path for discharging this electrical charge build-up. Almost all 3M™ Computer Filters feature a conductive coating and grounding cord with clip to provide the path and grounding mechanism for full discharge of the electrical charge buildup. 3M™ Computer Filters with the anti-static feature discharge an electrostatic buildup of 5000V in less than 0.1 seconds when properly grounded. They are independently tested to assure static discharge performance.
