    Integrated Valve Appendix J: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Appendix J: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) What is ESD? Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is a triboelectric charge generated by separating or rubbing together two non-conductive materials. What causes ESD? Friction can cause ESD. Friction can be generated by walking across a floor, removing tape from a tape dispenser, pulling a work order from a plastic work order holder, rolling the wheels of a push-cart across the floor, sitting on a foam cushion such as a stool or blowing air across a nonconductive surface.
