ASG PFAUDLER ANTISTATIC GLASS

The problem of electrostatic charges in conventional glass reactors
When stirring solids in non-conductive solvents, electrostatic charge may occur in the product. This frictional electricity is associated with major problems if explosive gas mixtures are involved - for example, the necessity for inerting using nitrogen in order to ensure the operational safety. In addition, disruptive discharge may damage the reactors and the built-in components. The costly consequences include downtimes, increased expenses for the plant and a lower product quality due to metallic contamination.

Pfaudler AntiStatic Glass is a glass quality that has to be used in processes that bear the risk of electrostatic charge. ASG is based on a development made by Pfaudler as early as the 1970s and later optimized.

Many years of practical experience in leading German chemical companies as well as the technological further development in the recent past result in a proven, practical solution of all electrostatic problems in glass lined apparatus.

Safety and longevity of reactors - a task that is easily achieved with Pfaudler AntiStatic Glass!
