About this product

Preventing electrostatic charging

Capable of rising to any challenge with know-how, state-of-the-art materials and in a wide variety of shapes – with APSOplast® Engineering Plastics Technology Angst + Pfister offers one of the largest assortments of semi-finished products – standard shapes and cut-to-size – with immediate availability in Europe, finished parts manufactured according to customer specifications and special articles parts and plastic protection elements.

Uncontrolled electrostatic discharges caused by friction in connection with industrial plastics can lead to significant production damage in sensitive production processes. To prevent this, special antistatic and electrically conductive plastics must be used.

Those can be highly wear and impact resistant slideways or coatings, e.g. for chutes, silos, feed channels; support rail strips for toothed belts and chain guides; for dry plain bearings and feed systems in machines and apparatus for finished parts in electroplating, food processing and food packaging.

Angst + Pfister’s PE-UHMW ED FG material has a permanently antistatic function that prevents electrostatic charging. The electrostatic surface charge is reduced and dust attraction is avoided, so that no electrostatic discharge occurs.
