Product Overview

The 801 Anti-Static Tinsel is a simple, economical, and proven solution for controlling static electricity in industrial manufacturing and converting applications. Designed for use on sheets, webs, films, and other moving materials, the 801 provides effective static neutralization where powered static elimination equipment is not required or economically justified.

Manufactured from 99% pure copper, the tinsel features a multiple-strand copper wire core that provides both grounding and mechanical strength. Fine copper “leaves” surrounding the core concentrate the electric field around charged materials, ionizing the surrounding air and providing a path for static charges to safely dissipate to earth.

Suitable for high static charges and fast-moving materials, the 801 Anti-Static Tinsel is widely used throughout the paper, plastics, packaging, printing, and converting industries as a reliable and cost-effective method of static control.

How It Works

The fine copper fibers of the 801 Anti-Static Tinsel concentrate the electric field generated by static charges on nearby materials. This concentrated field ionizes the surrounding air, creating a conductive path that allows static electricity to safely flow to earth.

For maximum performance, the tinsel is typically positioned 2–3 mm above the material being treated. In applications where contact is acceptable, the tinsel can lightly touch the material, allowing static charges to be dissipated directly through conduction to earth.

The 801 Anti-Static Tinsel must be connected to a suitable earth ground to ensure effective static elimination.

Installation

The flexible construction of the 801 Anti-Static Tinsel allows it to be easily installed on a wide variety of equipment and machinery.

The tinsel can be mounted close to the material path and cut to the desired length for the application. Its lightweight design makes installation quick and straightforward while providing reliable static control across changing web paths and production conditions.
