More and more applications have raised the antistatic requirements, especially with the expansion of rubber in electronic computer applications, the probability of static electricity is also increasing, and people’s awareness of static electricity is also increasing. In many countries, antistatic measures are increasingly standardized. The most important of these is the development of various antistatic devices, one of which is antistatic rubber. Antistatic rubber products must not only act to remove static electricity, but also prevent electric shock accidents caused by leakage of low voltage lines. Depending on the application, antistatic rubber can be classified into the following categories.
1） Antistatic rubber is required in some places where it is prone to danger, such as roads and tires that tend to accumulate static electricity. Compared with metal or concrete paving materials, they are more secure and hygienic in the workplace, and they also have good antistatic effects.
2 ）The possibility of fire and explosion during the transportation of flammable and explosive liquids exists. In this case, rubber hoses with good electrical insulation properties are prone to fire. If the oil hose is antistatic, it can ensure the safety of oil transportation.
3） Anti-static conveyor belts used in explosive and flammable places can eliminate accidents caused by sparks, especially in places where tape is used to transport chemical fiber, which can effectively prevent fire accidents caused by fibers being adsorbed on the surface of the belt.
4) Anti-static rubber shoes are also anti-static bulk products. The volume resistance of these special shoes on the ground is 10 103〜8Ω∙CM. When the shoes are grounded, the current through the human body should be <5mA. anti-static rubber shoes used in hospital operating rooms. To remove static electricity generated by the floor, moving stretchers, and tool cart wheels.
5) Some factories have high-purity production sites and need to establish a long-term antistatic environment. Antistatic equipment must be used.
