Many industries rely on the unique environments that only a cleanroom can provide. The combination of possible contamination and uncontrolled static build-up is a genuine problem for many delicate manufacturing and testing processes. For example, cleanrooms are an essential part of most electronic manufacturing because of the static control it provides. But how do cleanrooms manage to achieve this...
Static electricity will always be generated during textile manufacturing due to the nature of the industry. In addition, the industry’s growing use of artificial fibres has increased the problem of static electricity. This build-up of static is unfortunately unavoidable, but it can be controlled with the application of effective anti-static products. What is Static Electricity? The basics of static electricity are...
Static electricity is problematic in many workplace settings under any conditions, but it is also essential to understand how changes in the weather can impact the prevalence of static electricity. Understanding how static works and the conditions under which it is likely to occur plays a big role in combatting the issue. Today, we're going to discuss how and...
Modern-day manufacturing can create a lot of harmful static electricity. While static electricity can be helpful for various uses, such as touchscreen devices, it is an unfortunate side effect of most modern manufacturing processes, and ESD can be detrimental to your products without proper countermeasures. What is ESD? ESD's full name is electrostatic discharge. It is when electrons are transferred between...
Static electricity is ever-present in any environment, industrial or domestic. Some industries benefit from static electricity, and others do not. Whilst a static shock can be pretty amusing in your home, accumulated static electricity in an industrial setting can be a safety hazard. What Exactly Is Static Electricity? Static electricity is an imbalance between negative and positive charged objects. It can...
Static electricity is frequently overlooked as a serious hazard and is often regarded as nothing more than a nuisance. Although this is true for static build-up in a domestic setting, where you may experience a momentary harmless shock from touching a statically charged surface, in many industries, static electricity and the fire risks associated with it are incredibly serious....
