It can be deadly in explosive environments where high concentrations of flammable dust, volatile solvents or hydrogen gas is present. In many sensitive manufacturing operations, it only takes a few volts of static electricity to destroy sensitive products, such as computer chips.
Nylon is a great insulating material but with additives such as PAN carbon fibers abates static electricity in several ways:
The use of plastics in the manufacture of mechanical components has come a long way in the last few decades. New additives blended into resins, such as nylon, have greatly enhanced the performance, versatility, and value of timing pulleys and many other similar products. In many applications, nylon is a superior choice over carbon steel or aluminum.
