Conductive plastic brushes

Brushes minimise static charge generation and remove electrostatic charges to ground when held by grounded personnel.

• Dissipative polypropylene black handles are able to remove charges to ground
• Volume resistance of conductive fibres: 1×10³ to <1×10⁵ ohms per ANSI/ESD STM11.12
• Volume resistance of dissipative handle: 1× 10⁴ to <1×10¹¹ ohms per ANSI/ESD STM11.12

Two kinds of bristles: Soft bristles are ideal for chemical and electronics applications, made of conductive yarn and horse hair and hard bristles are mainly for electronics, especially circuit boards, made of conductive yarn, pig hair and horse hair.

Once the conductive yarn is added to the bristles, it neutralises the possibility of static build-up caused by the natural hair. Synthetic bristles can easily become charged with static in standard humidity conditions. Natural hair usually builds static in areas of low humidity, but due to the conductive fibres in our brushes, this problem does not take effect.
