How to avoid Static Discharge in the Workplace
The Science behind Static Electricity & ESD When two surfaces come into contact and separate, electrons move to the other surface, causing an imbalance. The amount of static electricity that you feel when a charge is discharged depends upon many factors… Such as the materials on contact or separation, friction, the surface area of contact or separation and relative humidity are contributory factors. However, at a lower relative humidity where the environment is drier, charge generation and build-up will increase significantly. Without [...]
