Anti-Static

  • Are you looking for a low-cost, low-maintenance solution to stop static on a web (printing or converting)?
  • Is your digital printing business suffering from static-related faults (cobwebs in the print, or misbehaving material after printing)?
  • Are you experiencing static-related problems printing RFID tags?
  • Do you need to remove static from a food or medical packaging line, so can't use copper anti-static tinsel?
  • Are you trying to remove static in a vacuum (metallising)?
  • Are you coating with solvents, and so work in an explosion zone?
  • Do you use expensive X1 polonium static bars that need constant regulation by the local authorities for radiation emissions? 

We have the answer...

DisCord Plus

DisCord Plus is an elastic polyester cord with tiny stainless steel microfibres running through it. Placed just one centimetre from the substrate (it doesn't need to touch) and earthed at one end, any static charge will simply wick up the microfibres and be dissipated.

No power, radiation or effort is required.

DisCord Plus comes in reels of 10 metres (but stretches to ~22 metres).

ArcRods

ArcRods are a development of DisCord Plus. A semi-flexible carbon rod is sleeved in a similar polyester/steel material to the DisCord Plus. The rod gives even better static elimination for troublesome substrates, and its rigidity will allow the ArcRod to remain in place almost indefinitely.

See how it works in the video above.
