Any relative motion and physical separation of materials or flow of solids, liquids or particle-laden gases can generate an electrostatic discharge. The '99/92EC ATEX (Workplace) Directive' recognises these discharges as a potential source of ignition in explosive atmospheres associated with a range of industries, particularly within chemicals, pharmaceuticals, petroleum and food processing. Common sources of electrostatic discharge include; items made from plastic materials, processing equipment and personnel. Such static build-up and discharge can damage or destroy sensitive electronic components, erase or alter magnetic media or make material handling problematic.

ASSURED PROTECTION

STATEC™ Anti-static Conductive safety products are manufactured from a plastic material with the ability to readily dissipate a static charge before it can accumulate to a critical level. They material characteristics are suited applications where the tools require grounding. They have excelent chemical resistance and used in many different areas of industry that have explosive atmospheres.

STATEC™ products are the only plastic hand tools on the market that have been independently tested and certified to ATEX(EU) & IEC standards.
