KEEPING STATIC AWAY

Antistatic devices are very important for the handling and package shipping of sensitive electrical components. Antistatic prevents harmful static electricity from affecting electrical gadgets and components which can damage them beyond repair.

Because static is very difficult to prevent, much less to remove altogether, it is much better to use antistatic devices to make sure that the static electricity will not exact a high price on your business.

There are many types of antistatic devices or agents, depending on the intended use or the item that must be protected. The most common are the antistatic bags which are commonly used for the package shipping of fragile items that can be destroyed by the presence of static electricity.

ANTISTATIC AGENTS

Antistatic garments are used in factories and manufacturing plants. These antistatic garments are worn by assembly line workers as they handle electrical parts and assemble computers and other electronic gadgets that are highly sensitive to static. Antistatic garments are also recommended for shipping handlers when designated to materials of similar nature.

Another type of antistatic device is the antistatic mat. This is not ideal for shipping because the mat can be easily removed from the item during shipping. An antistatic mat is ideal for holding items that are often used. There are also antistatic mats for people to use. The antistatic mats are used to remove static when you are entering a clean room.

Yet another antistatic agent is called the antistatic wrist strap. This is an alternative to using antistatic garments which can be cumbersome and uncomfortable to wear all the time. The main advantage of the antistatic wrist strap is that it is highly portable. Its small size allows the user to carry the unit wherever he goes and be able to use it when necessary.
