Materials Used To Control Static Dissipation Dangers

By Debra Miller


Statics are forms of electricity produced whenever a surface of higher resistance to electric currents gets into contact with another surface and then get separated resulting in static electricity. Static Dissipation is a form of inert electricity that can set off fires and disturb magnetic media. This is an electric current that needs control to avoid such instances from happening. Below article describes some of the important factors that can reduce inert risk.

By its very nature, inert dissipation is quite harmful and it is for this reason methods of reducing these risks are needed. Dissipative materials and anti-statics have proven to be very useful and reliable as they have the ability to kill two birds with one stone. They will first reduce the production of these charges by the electronics and will also control the charges already there.

The materials used to minimize dissipation are known as anti motion or conductive and the ones hugely used are plastics. Plastic materials are made into being conductive. Some believe that plastic is a natural conductor but it is manufactured into a conductor. For this reason and for having an assurance that it will conduct electricity, most companies use it to act as anti-inert.

For plastic to be turned into a conductive, a number of materials are used as additives among them being carbon powder, carbon fibre, aluminium and graphite. Graphite and carbon are very conductive and it is from these two elements plastic acquires its conductive nature. But in some instances even with additives, plastic could turn out being non-conductive.

The number one type of item used to reduce the risk of inert dissipation is the conductive material that is said to have a very fast movement of electric currents. Having a fast surface then results to there being a lot of ease for the flow of current into a foreign surface that comes in to direct contact with it. For these many factors, conductive materials are anti-static.

Other materials are the dissipative ones and can also be termed to have fast charge movement when operating at a controlled speed but regardless, they are not as fast as the conductive material. Their surface is of a medium resistant nature which when calculated balances out with each other. They are also classified as anti motion for the fact they prevent any buildup of inert electricity.

Anti-static materials are effective in controlling inert dissipation as their presence helps to reduce the build-up of inert electricity. When an anti motion is absent in the flow of electric currents within inert electricity, then there is an imbalance that occurs resulting to inert electricity reaching high numbers and friction becomes really high and it is for this reasons explosions and fires occur.

By having an anti motion present whenever there is a flow of inert electricity, then the buildup of these currents is controlled thus inert electricity is absent in textiles, and polishes. This is achieved by ensuring that enough moisture is retained to provide conduction of electricity hence the absence of any charges resulting from inert electricity. This is why anti motion is a necessity.
