Antistatic PVC is a high static dissipative (antistatic) material. It avoids sparks and all others damages resulting of static electrical charges.
Antistatic strips doors and partitions can be used in varied applications such as, explosive atmosphere (mining, chemical sites, laboratories, etc…) or in static electric sensitive areas (datacenters, electronic part factories, packaging, etc…)
Extruflex Anti-Static PVC reduces the risk of sparks caused by static electricity.
Anti-Static PVC is an advanced, high-static-dissipative material, meticulously designed to mitigate the risks associated with static electrical charges.
Extruflex Anti-Static PVC is specifically engineered for application within electrostatic environments, with a primary focus on its widespread adoption in data centres and server rooms. This specialised PVC material effectively dissipe static charges generated by machinery in the area, simultaneously leveraging its thermal properties to regulate temperature and safeguard critical equipment contaminants such as dust or pests.
Dissipative materials allow charges to flow to the ground slowly and safely, preventing sudden discharges.
They have moderate electrical resistance, which is sufficient to dissipate charges without causing sparks.
Extruflex PVC contains additives that increase their conductivity without making them fully conductive.
This material effectively dissipates static charges, thereby reducing the risk of sparks that could potentially lead to fire incidents or the damage of sensitive equipment.
Furthermore, it contributes to temperature regulation within the working environment, by acting as an insulator, aiding in temperature control systems and thereby ensuring the optimal functioning of crucial machinery by maintaining a controlled and cool temperature.
Anti-Static PVC is strategically to proactively address the initial stages of fire prevention. By effectively managing and dissipating static electricity, it functions as a preventive measure to avert fire hazards stemming from electrostatic discharge.
This is especially important in industries where even the smallest spark can create a fire hazard, such as in fuel production, mining, chemical labs, etc.
Anti-static PVC strips are commonly used in data centers to contain cold and hot aisles,manage airflow, enhance energy efficiency, and maintain a controlled environment.
They prevent the mixing of hot and cold air, thereby optimizing cooling system performance and reducing energy costs.
Additionally, these strips help control dust and humidity, are easy to install and remove, and provide easy access to equipment while being durable and resistant to fire and chemicals.
Due to their cost-effectiveness and efficiency, PVC strips are a valuable solution for thermal management in data centers.
