egeStatic® egeStatic® For the transportation of gases, powders and flammable media. Dim ø 160–630 mm. Many industrial applications include the transportation of dry gases, powders and flammable media. When transporting these substances in potentially explosive environments, all electrostatic charging of pipes and structures must be prevented by taking appropriate protective measures. To protect both humans and the environment, we offer egeStatic®, a pipe system with a conductive integrated layer. The pipe is used for e.g. the pneumatic transportation of dust, transportation of animal feed, pellets (fish farms) and explosive media, and for transportation in potentially explosive environments. egeStatic® Static charging environments require pipe systems that ensure the safe discharge of any static charge. For this applications, we have developed egeStatic®, a co-extruded homogeneous pipe made of PE 100-RC with a dimensionally integrated PE-EL (electrically conductive polyethylene) layer. Depending on the application and requirements, these layers can be placed on the inside and/or outside of the pipe. Homogeneous pipes Multilayer pipes can have strippable or homogeneous layers. The strippable layers can be stripped from the main pipe while homogeneous layers are an integral part of the pipe. egeStatic® is a homogeneous pipe with an integrated conductive layer on the inside and/or outside. 10-6 10-4 10 102 106 108 1010 1012 1014 1016 10-2 104 Ω Electrostatic insulation High conductivity Electrostatically conductive Electrostatic discharge egeStatic® Electrostatic insulation (PE 100) Electrostatic resistance 72 The table shows the difference in value for the electrical resistance of each surface. For egeStatic, the pipe surface is resistant to electrostatic charges. This is crucial when transporting dry particles such as animal feed and pellets (fish farms) and reduces the risk of employees suffering unpleasant and harmful electrical shocks.
