Effective Static Control Solutions Across Industries: More Than Just Textiles

Static Electricity - A Universal Industrial Challenge

While électricité statique is often associated with textile manufacturing, it is a challenge that impacts a wide range of industries—from packaging and plastics to automotive and electronics. In any environment where materials move at high speeds or are processed under dry conditions, static electricity can cause contamination, misalignment, fires, or equipment failure. Fortunately, technologies

like Corona treaters and custom static control systems are available to address these issues across various sectors.

Packaging and Printing

In the packaging industry, static charges can cause film to stick together, attract dust, or create handling issues during slitting and rewinding. Print quality can also suffer due to uneven material surfaces.

Plastics and Extrusion

During extrusion, électricité statique can attract airborne particles to freshly formed plastic, contaminating the product and reducing quality. This also affects downstream operations like sealing

and lamination.

Electronics and Cleanrooms

In electronics manufacturing, static discharges can irreversibly damage sensitive components. Cleanrooms require extremely tight static control to avoid disruptions in microassembly processes.

Automotive and Aerospace

Static buildup in automotive and aerospace assembly lines can result in safety risks or interfere with

robotics and automated systems. Static also affects quality control in painting and coating applications.

Static Control Solutions That Work Across Industries

Corona Treaters for Surface Optimization

Although commonly used in printing and converting, Corona treaters are now applied in industries that need better surface adhesion or static dissipation. They modify surface energy, making materials more receptive to coatings and reducing charge buildup.

Ionizing Bars and Blow-Off Systems

These devices emit ions that neutralize static charges on surfaces and in the air. They are used in everything from electronics cleanrooms to flexible packaging lines.

Grounding and Monitoring Systems

Grounding provides a path for static charges to dissipate safely. When combined with static monitoring

systems, manufacturers gain full visibility into their electrostatic environment and can take preventive

measures.
