Static clinging

Prevents charge build-up (static cling) during coating and printing.

Windblown particles have been observed to build up quite a hefty charge by contact electrification on insulated bare wire fences, and in general, on any conducting surface that is isolated from ground. Static electricity is also formed by make and break contact as you exit a vehicle or can be observed as static cling with various types of fabric. A harmless discharge to the door... 

The litter problem remains with us. While it is certainly true that litter is a consequence of unacceptable human behavior, not inherent in the material, when littered, PS does not biodegrade, so it can remain in the environment for a very long period of Ume. The static cling tendencies of PS also contribute to its propensity to be littered, as can be attested to by anyone who has tried to pour a box of loosefill cushioning into their trash—especially if there was even a gentle breeze at the Ume ... 

Acetylated cellulose is then dissolved in a suitable solvent, precipitated, and drawn into fibers known as acetate rayon. The fibers are smooth, soft, resistant to static cling, and dry quickly. One of acetate rayon s most valuable properties is its ability to behave as a thermoplastic (Section 16.1). This allows clothing made from acetate rayon to be heated and permanently pleated upon cooling. 

In addition to all of these components, a modern commercial detergent may also contain antistatic agents (cationic surfactants added to reduce static cling) hydro-tropes (compounds added to liquid detergents to hold less-soluble surfactants and other compounds in solution) and, of course, fragrances and perfumes and inert fillers and formulation aids that keep powdered detergents free flowing.

This history of investigation of the mechanism of gekkotan adhesion has been paralleled by a series of studies that have attempted to understand the structure and function of the entire adhesive apparams. Other studies have endeavored to investigate the performance capabihties of the adhesive system of geckos in both static clinging and dynamic running tests. 

At the opposite end of the spectrum is the issue of electrical conductivity. While most thermoplastics are inherently nonconductive, there are a number of additives that can be used to modify the base resin and enhance the electrical conductivity. While these modified resins will never achieve the level of electrical conductivity of most metals, they can provide some conductivity, making them useful for applications requiring antistatic performance (to prevent dust buildup and/or static cling), control over static discharge, and sometimes even for electronic shielding. 

The separator also utilizes a static eliminator bar to minimize static cling on the belt. The distance of the eliminator bar above the belt is adjustable to deliver good functionality with different regrind burden depths.
