Adchem Announces Availability of Downloadable Static Control White Paper on Website


Addresses Common Winter Static Electricity Problems

Adchem Corporation, a leading manufacturer of high performance film and foam bonding adhesive tape, is pleased to announce the availability of a white paper entitled "Protecting Adhesive Tape Systems From Static Electricity" on the company's website.

This comprehensive and highly educational paper addresses a number of measures that may be taken to control the effects of static electricity during the use and conversion of pressure-sensitive tape, as well as how to reduce the hazards and risks to pressure-sensitive tape users and converters from the buildup of electrostatic charges.

Adchem makes several key recommendations, such as maintaining a relative humidity above 50% with water spray misters to mitigate problems for uncoated papers; minimizing slippage in the transport system where PSA tapes contact stationary or slower moving idler rollers; and, the addition of active ionizers as an effective static control mechanism.

The Static Control white paper is available on Adchem's website at www.adchem.com or by contacting an Adchem Regional Sales Manager through the home office at 631-727-6000.
