Heraeus Epurio and Plast Composite Consulting Offer Antistatic Coating
HANAU, Germany — Heraeus Epurio and Plast Composite Consulting (PCC) have jointly developed the industry’s first antistatic coating that protects lighting units in electrostatic discharged (ESD) and explosion-proof areas. Utilizing Clevios, the conductive polymer from Heraeus, the two companies were able to successfully create the first coating to combine conductivity with transparent surface sealing for lighting covers in electrostatic discharge and explosion-proof areas.
In ESD environments or areas with an explosion hazard, the requirements placed on lighting units are extremely high. They must remain durably resistant to chemicals and scratches - and reliably dissipate static charges. In cooperation with Plast Composite Consulting (PCC), Heraeus Epurio has introduced the first coating that contains Clevios – a conductive polymer – for sealing plastic covers of lighting units. This offers all-round protection, is transparent and cost-effective to manufacture.
