Antistatic Agents are applied or kneaded into equipment, clothing, or other objects to prevent them from becoming charged with static electricity.
When static electricity is generated, the object collects dust and dirt from the air and deposits them, or causes static electricity to discharge, damaging semiconductor components in the equipment. In the worst case scenario, the object may catch fire, resulting in a fire.
Antistatic Agents are used to avoid various problems caused by static electricity.
Antistatic Agents are used for two purposes: to prevent static electricity generation in finished products and to prevent problems caused by static electricity generation in the production process of industrial products.
Antistatic Agents are applied to plastics or kneaded into them to improve their ion conductivity. This is because improved ion conductivity reduces the generation of static electricity.
Although spray-type Antistatic Agents are generally well known, detergents containing surfactants are another type of Antistatic Agent. Surfactants are used in household clothing detergents. Therefore, after washing, the clothes are less likely to generate static electricity.
Antistatic Agents are available in a variety of types to suit the equipment and clothing to be handled.
For clothing worn on a daily basis, detergents and fabric softeners containing surfactants play the role of Antistatic Agents. There are four types of surfactants: nonionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, and amphoteric surfactants. Of these, the surfactant most often used in Antistatic Agent applications is the cationic surfactant.
Cationic surfactants are surfactants that ionize into positive ions in solution. It is often used as the main ingredient in fabric softeners. When laundry containing fabric softener is dried, the frictional resistance of the fiber surface decreases, thereby reducing the generation of static electricity.
In addition, surfactants improve the hydrophilicity of the garment surface, making it easier for water molecules to bind strongly to it as well. Even if static electricity is generated, it can flow through water molecules, preventing static buildup.
Acrylic sheets are materials that easily generates static electricity. Especially in winter, when static electricity is easily generated, dust and debris often adhere to products made of acrylic sheets and are difficult to remove.
One way to prevent the generation of static electricity is to spray a water solution containing an Antistatic Agent. Remove large dust and debris first, then apply an appropriate amount of spray and wipe off with a soft cloth.
Some sprays containing Antistatic Agents can damage acrylic panels. When purchasing, it is necessary to confirm that the product can be used on acrylic panels.
Antistatic Agents are used to prevent the generation of static electricity, but static electricity is a serious problem in factories. Products containing electronic components may be destroyed by static electricity, for example, if some of the components on the internal circuit board are destroyed.
To avoid such a situation, efforts are being made to prevent the generation of static electricity.
Humidity Control
The humidity in a factory can be set to a high level to maintain a constant humidity level in the factory and reduce the electrical resistance of surfaces of equipment.
Static Eliminator Rod
Arcing metal rods are placed at various locations, and workers can touch them to release static electricity charged on them.
Conductive mats
By placing conductive mats, even if workers are charged, static electricity can be dissipated to ground through the conductive mats. If necessary, use antistatic sprays on products, sliding parts, and other areas prone to static electricity to prevent static electricity generation.
