SCAT Europe GmbH, through its SymLine brand, is committed to making laboratories safer by providing high-quality, innovative waste management solutions. The company continuously invests in new technologies and materials to maintain its market leadership and ensure the highest level of safety for laboratory personnel.
SymLine products comply with ATEX directives, using high-performance synthetic materials that provide a safe link to safety cabinets. These products offer advantages in terms of weight and corrosion resistance compared to stainless steel.
SymLine components are made from electrostatic conductive plastic, suitable for voltage equalization as per TRGS 727. The material, PE-HD EC, has a discharge resistance against earth of less than 109 Ω and is suitable for hazardous zones 0, 1, and 2. It is chemically resistant as defined by SEFA standards.
Electrostatics, or static electricity, is generated by separating surfaces that have been in contact. Conductive materials serve as electron suppliers, while insulating materials absorb charged particles. Charge separation can lead to voltage generation, posing risks in laboratory environments, especially when handling flammable liquids.
Electrostatic ignition risks arise when handling solvents in laboratories. Charge accumulation can occur in systems with high flow velocities, leading to potential spark discharges. Conductive or dissipative earthing materials are recommended to prevent such discharges.
- Spark Discharge: Occurs when conductive materials are charged by separating from insulating materials.
- Brush Discharge: Happens on insulating surfaces charged by surface processes like rubbing.
- Propagating Brush Discharge: Occurs in insulating tubes with high-velocity transfers, capable of igniting fuel-air mixtures.
To mitigate electrostatic hazards, use conductive or dissipative materials, ensure proper grounding, and apply additional safeguards like dissipating floor mats and appropriate footwear. Regulations such as TRGS 727 in Germany provide guidelines for electrostatic safety in hazardous areas.
The document discusses European regulations for managing ignition hazards due to electrostatic charges, specifically referencing CENELEC standards. It highlights the importance of these regulations in describing hazards and specifying safety measures, serving as a reference for specific questions.
