ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE WEB

摘要

An electrically conductive web for safely and quickly discharging static electricity accumulated on personnel is disclosed. The web comprises a high-resistance polymeric surface layer, which is in electrical contact with a conductive foraminous layer. The relative conductivity of these layers result in desirable electrical discharge characteristics. The composite structure may be bonded to a suitable supporting substrate and suitable electrical connection between the conductive foraminous layer is made with an electrical ground. Charged personnel coming into contact with the surface layer have their static charge quickly and safely discharged to ground potential.
