Customized and comprehensive solutions for protecting
electronic devices
from damage due to static electricity.
Headquartered in Sylvania, OH, USA, Transforming Technologies offers a wide range of critically important ionization, grounding and specialty ESD products for protecting static sensitive electronics

To many people, static electricity is little more than the shock experienced when touching a metal doorknob after walking across a carpeted room or sliding across a car seat. However, static electricity has been a serious industrial problem for centuries. As early as the 1400’s, European and Caribbean forts were using static control procedures and devices to prevent electrostatic discharge ignition of black powder stores. By the 1860's, paper mills throughout the U.S. employed basic grounding, flame ionization techniques, and steam drums to dissipate static electricity from the paper web as it traveled through the
drying process.
The age of electronics brought with it new problems associated with static electricity and electrostatic discharge. As electronic devices became faster and smaller, their sensitivity to ESD increased. Today, ESD impacts productivity and product reliability in virtually every aspect of today’s electronics environment.
The control of electrostatic discharge is an important aspect in the manufacturing, assembling and repairing of devices that employ electronics. Electrostatic discharges can damage an electronic component at any stage of its production or application if not controlled. The primary method of control is to ground (or bring to the same potential) all conductors that come in contact or near proximity to the electronic device(s). These conductors include humans, tools, ESD mats, other electronic devices, boards, connectors, packaging, etc.
There are other components to a good ESD Control program including, removal of unnecessary insulators, shielding, ionization, environmental controls, training, education and top down compliance.
