Hazard of static electricity

It's more than a jolt

Every time I get static on my body

I feel like I'm a walking power plant.

Where does this static electricity come from?

Where the nasty static comes from

Static electricity is an electrical charge at rest, which is the accumulation of electrical charges on the surface of an object. Under normal conditions, atoms have the same number of protons as electrons, positive and negative balance, and are therefore not charged. However, once an external force causes the electrons to fall out of orbit, it will cause an imbalance in the distribution of electrons.

The generation of static electricity is affected by many factors. In some cases, they may quickly disappear by transferring charge through grounding. When we rub the handle with the non-conductive coating, some static electricity is formed on the surface of the handle, and if we ground the handle, the charge can be released. The surface of the handle can be restored to its original state.

The reason for the increase of static electricity in winter is that the air humidity is reduced, the air is dry, resulting in the charge is difficult to release, and the accumulation of static electricity on the surface of the human body and objects. Static electricity is particularly strong in winter, because the winter weather is dry, the air humidity is low, the skin humidity is low, and people often contact with chemical fiber underwear, carpets, cushions, etc., which will lead to the accumulation of static electricity in the body.

If you have a lot of insulation in your home, such as the rubber side of the sole, the wool carpet in the bedroom, etc. When you walk on a wool carpet, the friction between your shoes and the carpet causes your body to create and accumulate electrical charges, but you can't release it through the insulated rubber soles. Then, if you're unlucky enough to touch a metal door handle, it's a "crackle"......

Hazard of static electricity

In common sense, static electricity is uncomfortable, but the impact is slight and not worth worrying about. In fact, the impact of static electricity is far more than "electricity". Electrostatic voltage can easily reach 10,000 volts, although because the current is very small, it will not directly harm the human body, but it will produce a variety of imperceptible hazards.

01 threats to physical health >>>>

Aging cardiovascular system of middle-aged and elderly people, anti-interference ability is weakened, electrostatic interference can often lead to arrhythmia, tachycardia, premature beat and even atrial fibrillation.

02 Damage to electronic equipment >>>>

Precision electronic equipment is easily broken down by high voltage of static electricity, resulting in short circuit or other hazards. Integrated circuits are more sensitive to this high voltage static electricity. When performing related operations (such as DIY installation), you need to release static electricity in advance.

03 Alcohol is more dangerous >>>>

The use of alcohol on a daily basis is a "common practice" for people. When the alcohol concentration in the air reaches 3%, static electricity can cause an alcohol explosion. In particular, do not use alcohol by spraying.

04 Affects skin condition >>>>

Static electricity can produce a large number of cations around the human body, so that the skin moisture is reduced, and then the dander is increased, and it is easier to induce skin itching.

How to prevent static electricity

Static electricity is a very common low-temperature phenomenon that often appears in daily life. The increase of static electricity in winter will bring a lot of inconvenience to our life. The long winter has just begun, how do you prevent static electricity?

Control the indoor humidity Control the indoor humidity can effectively prevent static electricity, because the higher the humidity, the less static electricity is generated. Add the right amount of water to the indoor humidifier, so that the probability of electrostatic discharge of the instrument and equipment will be reduced.

When people wear clothes of certain materials, static electricity will occur, especially when the clothes are made of chemical fiber and cotton fabric collision is more likely to generate static electricity, so wearing appropriate clothes is also a small skill to prevent static electricity.

Under normal circumstances, the instrument and equipment are isolated from the human body, that is, we do not directly contact the metal shell part of the electrical equipment, if the instrument and equipment produce static electricity, such a metal shell may cause discharge. To protect people and devices, it is necessary to use ESD tools. Wear ESD gloves, ESD bracelets, and other ESD tools.

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.
