The risks of electrostatic discharges in mining applications are severe.

If a spark is generated due to a charge build-up it may cause immediate explosion that could induce irreversible human injuries or material damage.

In order to avoid such a situation, the PVC material must be capable of dissipating the charge with the minimum of delay.

Suitable in areas subject to dust or explosive gases, Extruflex antistatic PVC is available as strips, panels or films for mining.
