STATIC ELECTRICITY

Static electricity affects industrial processes in various ways, such as:

Material contamination since static electricity can attract and accumulate dust particles.

Production interruptions, because static electricity can cause materials to stick together or cling to surfaces. This is particularly problematic in industries like printing, textiles, or plastics, where precise material handling is crucial.

Risks of fires or explosions where flammable or explosive materials are present.

MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF STATIC ELECTRICITY

We mitigate the effects of static electricity with the use of ionization, antistatic bars, ionizing air blowers, and antistatic brushes.

ANTISTATIC BRUSHES

From the above methods, antistatic brushes are known for their efficiency and affordability. They are widely used in many industries and daily applications because they offer an effective way to prevent the buildup of static electricity on various surfaces.

OMSTAT STRIP ANTISTATIC BRUSHES

OMSTAT strip antistatic brushes consist of an aluminum body with carbon fibre, 6-8μ diameter, or metal threads, (fine stainless steel twisted wire fibre, 12μ diameter).

OMSTAT SELF ADHESIVE ANTISTATIC BRUSHES

Our self-adhesive antistatic brushes are made of metal or carbon fibers with a thickness ranging from 6 to 12 μ, and they are put on a self-adhesive backing.

They are pliable and can be fastened to a grounded metal surface without the need of screws.

Neutralizing static electricity in devices like printers, copiers, and ATMs is their primary goal.

OPERATION

They operate under the self-ionization principle. The fibre’s fine tips concentrate the static charge's electric field and ionize the surrounding air. Ions with the opposite polarity are provided by the ionized air, which balances the static charge. The fibre tips typically sit 1-2 mm away from the material in order to neutralize it; they are not required to make direct contact. To function properly, the antistatic brush needs to be grounded.
