Protective Garments While working with explosives and toxic materials, workers must wear approved coveralls or laboratory coats (preferably full length) to prevent contamination of their personal apparel. The use of flame-retardant coveralls is desirable for some explosive operations where there is a possibility of a flash. Cotton or other anti-static material should be worn wherever there is a possibility of generation of static electricity. 

Some of these polymers are thermally stable, some have high molecular weight (150000), some are soluble in organic solvents, some are fusible, some can be cast into films. These polymers have been suggested as viscosity stabilizers for oil, grease thickners, anti-static agents, and corrosion resistant coating for metals.

A diagram of an experimental set-up used for PM IRRAS experiments is shown in Fig. 9.26 and a photograph of the spectroelectrochemical cell in Fig. 9.27. The set-up is built from components purchased from Newport and custom-machined parts in an external tabletop optical mount (TOM) box. A convergent infrared beam from the spectrometer enters a port of the TOM box where it is deflected by a flat mirror and focused onto the working electrode by a parabolic mirror (f=6 in, Nicolet). Before entering the cell, the beam passes through a static polarizer (diameter 1 in, with an anti-reflective coating -... 

Metal Box has developed a copolymer polypropylene container. Poly-can, which has an anti-static additive and is suitable for water-based paints and coating products. Another development is the first bag-in-box paints from Ashwell Paints. A smooth flow is obtained in this system by the use of an open bung and screw top rather than a tap.

Eldorado made a deal with U.S. Radium to market some of that firm s products in the Commonwealth. One of these was Undark, a radium-based luminous compound. The arrangement also encompassed compounds used in the manufacture of television and cathode-ray tubes. The biggest seller amor these products was the lonotron, a radioactive anti-static device that used the ability of alpha radiation to ionize air to prevent formation of static electricity. It was employed in industries where flammable vapours or materials could be ignited by sparks from static electricity. Textile and paper mills were major customers, but the lonotron helped in the operation of coating and packaging equipment as well. It enabled manufacturers to increase the speed of their machines while reducing the risk of fire. 

The thermal storage and release, anti-static, water 8 absorbence, reliancy, soil release and conditional wrinkle recovery of PEG-coated fabrics were studied. 

A major modem use of electrically conducting textiles is in anti-static applications. Static electricity can not only be uncomfortable, but can also lead to fires and explosions (Kassebaum and Kocken, 1997). Anti-static properties can be conferred by coating fibres with metallized films, intrinsically conductive polymers, polyelectrolytes or by low molecular weight anti-statics in solution (Pionteck and Wypych, 2007). In the food industry, some solutions such as metal or metallized fibres are avoided because of the potential for contamination. Many of the technologies used for anti-statics have been employed for use in electronic textiles.
