Conductive Liners are manufactured from carbon-loaded polyethylene
to create an obvious path for static to escape.
Surface Resistivity: 103
to 105 Ohms/square
We have exclusive access to a number of bespoke liners developed for food and sugar applications. We have developed a new conductive liner to mitigate potential for explosions with the carriage of dry food materials such as sugar, flour or starch. The need for conductive liners arose from the requirement to carry powders that could ignite inside the container and cause a dust explosion. Ordinary polyethylene film liners are like virtually all polymers, very electrically insulating and prone to generation of high electrostatic charge accumulation and risk of incendiary spark.
Making liners out of a non-insulating film ("conductive") and providing an adequate electrical earth mitigates the likelihood of electrostatic discharges (ESD) from occurring. The inherently conducting polymers in addition to providing a permanent and reliable dissipation of electrical charge also possess the following attributes:
