The
“99/92EC ATEX (Workplace Directive”
recognises that electrostatic
discharges represent a potential
ignition source of explosive
atmospheres that can be found in a
wide range of industries,
particularly in the food processing,
pharmaceutical, chemical and
petrochemical working environments.
Items manufactured in Electrostatic
Dissipative plastic address these
risks in that they do not generate
high levels of charge and they have
the ability to dissipate charges
safely before they accumulate when
earthed.
Features of the range include:
A PP raw material base with
conductive filler giving excellent
chemical resistance (Colour: grey)
EU and FDA approvals for food
contact
A much lower item weight than
stainless steel alternatives –
crucial in the context of any
workplace risk assessment of RSI
A cost competitiveness against
earthed metal alternatives
