Causes
- High voltage due to charge separation between substrate and roll surface
Effects
High voltages can arise due to charge separation between the substrate and the roll surface. One of the tasks of roll coatings in this area is to limit high voltages to a safe level and thus reduce the risk of fire. It is also advisable to check whether an ATEX-certified coating should be used in other comparable applications. MITEX’s technical field service will be happy to provide non-binding advice in this regard.
With ATEX certified coatings, MITEX not only sets standards and underlines the high demand for safety and quality consistency, but also makes a consistent contribution to increasing the operational safety of customers. In this respect, MITEX supports mechanical engineering as well as manufacturers of electrostatic loading and unloading systems.
