Static Control products detect and eliminate static electricity, blow away dust, static cling, and spark hazards up to 20 feet. In industrial applications static is caused by an insulator or non-conductive material rubbing together under some pressure. When the insulator materials are separated, pools of positive or only negative ions form which creates static. The number of ions in these pools of positive or negative ions are determined by the material, humidity, and separation rate

Static Elimination / Anti-Static
Static Control Components - Essential for Industrial Applications
Beyond being a general nuisance, static electricity creates serious problems in industrial manufacturing environments. Static in industrial settings can develop on a number of natural and synthetic materials. Not only can electronic systems be damaged by static electricity, shocks can actually result in explosions or fires. That is why static elimination is essential in industrial applications.
