Remove Static with a Quality Conductive Brush

Conductive brushes are used to remove static buildup from a work surface by acting as a passageway from the ground to the charged surface. These specialized brushes are made with fully conductive materials, and the bristles are generally brass, stainless steel, phosphor bronze, carbon or carbon steel, or other specialty fibers. Conductive brushes should always be used with a wrist strap to provide a path to the ground.

Static charges build up on a work surface every time the surface is wiped down or dry brushed, and charged surfaces can be extremely dangerous in sensitive environments. A conductive brush is designed to reduce static levels to 0v. These brushes come in a wide range of sizes and materials for different situations, and you should carefully consider where and how you’re going to use a conductive brush when choosing size, shape, and fiber and handle materials.

Conductive brushes are an essential piece of safety equipment, and choosing quality brushes will make everyone in the surrounding work environment much safer. The brush needs to cover the entire width of the area you want to eliminate charge from, and the user needs to be trained on how to properly handle the brush. Used correctly, conductive brushes are a tried-and-true way to eliminate static from charged surfaces and prevent workplace accidents.
