DISSIPATION OF STATIC ELECTRICITY

摘要

A sheet material for use in static dissipation applications comprises conductive staple fibres and a cross-linked binder system. Laminar structures comprising an insulating substrate and a layer of the sheet material are also disclosed as are static electricity dissipation assemblies comprising the laminar structure associated with an electrical conductor in contact with the sheet material layer of the laminar structure, the conductor also being for connection to an earthing point. The laminar structures and static dissipation assemblies may be used for constructing tanks, reservoirs and/or pipes that hold or convey flammable liquids in aircraft.
