Anti-Static Elastic

The Anti-Static Elastic is similar to the Anti-Static String, this option offers the advantage of stretchability. Stretch it out of the way or snap it back into position…a great solution for applications requiring access to equipment for maintenance and web splices. Anti-Static Elastic is sold in 10m rolls and is 3mm in diameter.

To install, simply ground elastic to the bare metal of the machine and drape the length across the surface to be neutralized. Adjust the distance from the charged sheet or web from direct contact to up to two inches away until you get the optimum static neutralization. Place string either under or over a web or sheet; can be used in multiple locations wherever static is a problem. We also sell mounting magnets to attach the anti-static elastic to your machines.

We also offer magnetic mounts to mount the anti-static cord tο thе metal οf thе machine. Simply thread through the magnet, tie off and attach using thе magnet(s).

Static electricity is extremely problematic in printing and commercial business processes. It attracts and holds dirt, dust, bacteria and other airborne contaminants. Static pulls articles out of register during manufacturing and printing processes, and it causes articles or components to stick together causing jamming of machines and equipment.

An even bigger problem with static is that it can ignite combustible dust, vapours, solvents, and other materials causing fire and or/explosion.

It can also cause electronic instrumentation to perform erratically or even fail. Poor quality, waste, rejects, unscheduled downtime, increased frequency of maintenance, loss of internal environmental control and increased costs are some of the resulting problems.

Anti-Static Elastic and Mounting Magnets normally available from stock.
