How to effectively eliminate the harm of static electricity

Yancheng Ruize color masterbatch Co., LTD

The season of drying is coming again, causing troubles also followed, when taking off clothes, "crackling" small electric light, touching the metal fingertips came a numbness...... Static electricity brings us more than a simple "electric shock"!

Hazard of static electricity

Air and the human body have poor electrical conductivity, and it is easier to friction between substances to generate electricity! It can always give you an "electric shock" when you inadvertently, perhaps static electricity is just "pricking" you, but in some cases it is likely to be the culprit of the fire and explosion!!

1 May cause explosion and fire

Electrostatic discharge sparks, flammable and explosive materials, dust, oil mist more production sites, easy to cause explosion and fire. For example, pearl cotton production, loading and unloading process.

2 May generate electric shock and cause other accidents

When electrostatic shock occurs, the current may cause instant paralysis and induce secondary accidents. Typical workers working at heights may fall from heights due to electrostatic shock.

3 The product and production environment may be affected

It is harmful to the output and quality of products, equipment and production environment. For example, static electricity can make the powder deposition in the production, plugging pipes, screens, etc.

How to avoid static electricity

Anti-static electricity in the workplace

Grounding method: It is a relatively simple method to eliminate electrostatic hazards, mainly used to eliminate static electricity on the conductor, and should not be used to eliminate static electricity on the insulator

Leakage method: The use of humidifiers and the use of antistatic additives to promote the electrostatic charge from the insulator to eliminate itself.

Electrostatic neutralization method: Try to generate charged ions in places where electrostatic charges are dense, and neutralize the electrostatic charges there. Static electricity on insulators can be eliminated by electrostatic neutralization.

Process control method: reduce material flow rate as much as possible to increase water content and other measures.

Prevent static electricity in the home

Wash your hands and face often. After watching TV and computer, you should wash your hands and face immediately, so that the static electricity on the surface of the skin is released in the water.

Try not to wear chemical fiber clothing in autumn and winter. When wearing clothes at ordinary times, try to choose all cotton clothes.

Touch the wall to remove static electricity. When we want to touch others or metal conductors, we only need to touch the wall first, or touch the handle with the metal key in our hand, and then touch it with our hand, and it will not be electric.

Keep a certain humidity in the room. Indoors, mop the floor frequently, sprinkle some water frequently, or use a humidifier to humidify.

Anti-static electricity in chemical enterprises

Chemical products are easy to produce static electricity in production, transportation and storage, and because of the high potential difference of static electricity, although the discharge time is short, the harm is still large.

How to prevent static electricity in chemical enterprises?

1. Grounding

1. Metal appliances, units and storage tanks in explosive hazardous environments need to be grounded.

2, for the oil, liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas and other pipelines in the explosion danger area of flanges, rubber hose on both sides of the connection position need to use metal wire jumper.

Second, humidification

The installation of air conditioning system in the production site can choose to spray or hang wet cloth, which effectively improves the humidity of the field air and reduces or eliminates the harm of static electricity.

Third, add antistatic agent

Antistatic agent is an effective material to prevent electrostatic hazards, with strong electrical conductivity and hygroscopic property, so the addition of antistatic agent helps to reduce material volume resistance and surface resistance, promote electrostatic leakage, and then effectively reduce or eliminate electrostatic hazards.

Ruizer antistatic masterbatch is more easily dispersed than the previous direct addition of liquid, powder or paste antistatic agent to achieve the ideal antistatic effect.

The antistatic masterbatch is resistant to high temperature, has good performance, and will not decompose during spinning or injection molding. The addition amount is low, the effect is fast, and the effect is lasting. According to the processing characteristics of different resins, different high-efficiency antistatic agents are selected to meet the requirements of various processing industries.
