New Delhi, 08 July 2025: Cosmo Plastech, the rigid packaging business of Cosmo Films, a global leader in specialty films, announces the launch of its Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Plastic Sheet (PET) – a specially engineered solution developed to support the critical needs of India’s rapidly expanding electronics and device manufacturing ecosystem.

As India consolidates its position as a world hub for electronics manufacturing fuelled by policies such as “Make in India” and an increasing local demand for semiconductors, smartphones, and electronic components – the need for higher quality and reliable packaging solutions is imperative. Further, with the electronic packaging sector witnessing a boost, demand for ESD-safe materials will likely experience a sharp increase. Amidst this ongoing development, Cosmo Plastech’s PET-based ESD sheet is both timely and necessary.

The newly developed ESD Plastic Sheet (PET) is designed to manage and dissipate static electricity efficiently in order to prevent damage to electronic components while they are stored, handled, and shipped. Produced keeping in mind the word class standards of quality and environment, the PET sheet is RoHS compliant, conductive, and dissipative in nature, and is antistatic. The ESD sheet also adheres to cleanroom needs through its dust-free, recyclable material, providing customers, both function and eco-friendliness in a single product.

Cosmo Plastech’s ESD sheet is ideal for IC and chip trays, cell phone and component manufacturing trays, and general-purpose material handling trays. The sheet therefore brings added protection and efficiency to the electronics industry. Not only does it safeguard electronic components and devices, but also streamlines packaging operations in ESD-sensitive environments.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Himanshu Gupta, Business Head (Rigid Packaging), Cosmo First said, “India’s electronics sector is witnessing a transformative phase, and packaging has a key role to play in protecting the heart of this revolution which is its components. With our ESD PET sheet, we are not just offering a material, we are also offering assurance, safety, and innovation to a sector that is powering India’s technological growth.”

With the packaging industry for electronics set to boom, product innovations such as Cosmo Plastech’s ESD PET sheet are going to be a key offering in protecting the functionality and quality of valuable electronic products. By leveraging unique designing capabilities and decades of sector experience, Cosmo Plastech aims to deliver immense value by facilitating the safe transportation and storage of vital components that drive the digital economy.

Cosmo Plastech’s PET-based ESD sheet further solidifies the brand’s position as a reliable and trusted partner in the rigid packaging industry, helping shape the landscape of electronics manufacturing with forward-thinking, high-performance packaging solutions.
