What are the types of static electricity eliminators for the human body?
Static electricity eliminators for the human body mainly come in wearable types (such as anti-static wristbands, bracelets, and anklets) and fixed types (such as static electricity eliminating balls, release columns, and alarms). They safely release or neutralize static electricity from the human body through conductive materials or the principle of ion neutralization. Common forms include wristbands, keychains, and contact release columns, suitable for high-cleanliness or explosion-proof environments such as electronics and petrochemical industries.
Main Types
Wearable Eliminators:
Anti-static Wristbands/Anklebands: The most common, connecting the human body to the ground (through the foot or contact release device) via built-in conductive fibers or metal wires, allowing static electricity to flow away slowly.
Static Electricity Releasing Wristbands: Similar to wristbands, with different designs; some have intelligent displays or alarm functions.
Keychain Types: Small and portable, made of metal, used to release static electricity by contacting metal objects.
Fixed Eliminators:
Static Electricity Releasing Balls/Columns: Usually placed on the ground, with a voice alarm; static electricity is released through conductive materials after being touched. Commonly used in access control systems in industrial areas.
Human Body Static Electricity Discharge Alarm: Can be integrated into access control systems. If static electricity is not discharged to a safe level after a person touches the discharge ball, an audible and visual alarm will be triggered.
Other Auxiliary Products:
Anti-static Floor Mats/Floors: Conduct static electricity to the ground using conductive materials.
Anti-static Spray/Fabric Softener: Sprayed onto clothing or object surfaces to neutralize the charge.
Working Principle
Conductive Discharge: Utilizes conductive materials (such as conductive wires or carbon fibers) to guide accumulated static electricity from the human body to the ground or a neutral object through a low-resistance path, achieving slow and stable discharge and avoiding sudden discharge.
Ion Neutralization: Ion fans/barrels/guns generate positive and negative ion airflow to neutralize static charge on object surfaces, commonly used in industrial production lines.
Selection Recommendations
Daily Use: Anti-static wristbands and keychain-style eliminators are more convenient.
Industrial/High-Requirement Locations: Static electricity discharge columns/balls, alarms, or floor mats ensure safety and compliance.
Increasing Humidity: Humidifiers can be used in winter to increase air conductivity and effectively reduce static electricity.
