Vacuum Static Discharge - a build-up of electricity when material, such as dust, pellets, wood chips, flour, etc., goes through a vacuum hose and creates a static charge.  The charge has the potential to cause a safety hazard for employees and the work environment.

Two types of hoses are available to ensure a grounded, shock-free working environment when using connecting tools and vacuum cleaners.

Both types provide end-to-end, complete dissipation of static electricity when properly attached to a grounded vacuum cleaner or vacuums that have been modified to create a grounded solution.

1. Static Conductive
   The most effective and easiest way to dissipate an electrostatic discharge is when conductive carbon black is added to the hose’s polymer matrix.
   
   Conductive carbon blacks are special branched carbons with a graphitic structure that are able to transport the flow of electrons and dissipate their electrostatic charge.  Priced below are two (2) Static Conductive Hoses, both will enable the static-charge to travel the entire length of the hose without the risk of shock.

2. Static Dissipate
   This type of hose typically has less carbon black but uses an embedded copper ground wire to reduce static build-up in material handling applications.
   
   This hose requires one-end of the copper wire to be connected to the vacuum cleaner, the other-end of the exposed copper wire is connected to the hand tool.  With proper grounding connections, the electrostatic charge is dissipated.
