An antistatic tube is a tube designed to prevent static electricity build-up.
Traditional tubes, which lack antistatic properties, are often covered with conductive materials like metal wire or mesh. This method, while effective at preventing static build-up, can be labor-intensive and risks losing grounding if not properly applied. Moreover, metallic coverings are unsuitable for corrosive environments.
In contrast, antistatic tubes have inherent conductivity, eliminating the need for additional covering and addressing these challenges effectively.
Antistatic tubes are essential in environments where static electricity accumulation and spark generation pose risks, particularly when handling volatile organic solvents like acetone and thinner. They are commonly used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment for the safe transport of these solvents and gases.
Additionally, static electricity can disrupt electronic equipment. Antistatic tubes are also utilized in the transportation of liquids and gases in such sensitive environments.
Electrification is the creation of an electric charge imbalance within a material. It occurs due to contact, friction, or separation between materials. In tubing used for fluid transport, this charging happens due to the interaction between the fluid and the tube's inner surface.
Conductive materials, like metals, allow electrons to move freely, promoting charge uniformity and dissipation. In contrast, insulating materials, such as certain plastics, hinder charge diffusion, leading to localized charging.
Fluoropolymers like PTFE and PFA, commonly used in tubing, offer excellent chemical and heat resistance. However, their high insulating properties make them prone to electrical charging.
When a tube becomes charged through contact or friction, it may not only generate sparks but can also be damaged by dielectric breakdown. Therefore, ensuring the electrical conductivity of tubes to prevent electrification is vital for safe fluid transfer.
