What types of containers can be used to hold chemicals – requirements regarding anti-static properties
Thread Content
The bulk chemicals purchased by our company need to be repackaged upon arrival at the factory. During this process, I was wondering which material containers can be used to hold chemicals without generating static electricity Our company is currently using plastic, and a colleague suggested using iron; I’m not sure if that’s the right choice. Thank you all for your advice
I have both iron tanks and plastic tanks, used for storing hazardous chemicals as well.
Plastic products tend to accumulate static electricity and do not conduct electricity; relatively speaking, metal products are better
The containment of chemicals should be based on their chemical properties, with the primary requirement being that no chemical reaction occurs with the container, in order to prevent leaks and deterioration of the chemicals. Next is the issue of static electricity prevention; medium flow and friction are the main factors that generate static electricity. Static-dissipating devices can be installed on the conveyance pipes, such as grounding the pipes.
It depends on what medium the chemical is in.
