Controlling Static Electricity in Healthcare Environments

Protection Against Uncontrolled ESD Events

Uncontrolled electrostatic discharge (ESD) can pose serious risks in sensitive healthcare settings—jeopardizing patient safety, damaging diagnostic equipment, and compromising data integrity. Premix provides conductive and antistatic plastic solutions engineered to protect both people and technology in demanding medical environments.

PRE-ELEC® Grades for ESD Protection

Premix’s products include conductive and dissipative materials that are optimized for:

  • ESD Wheels: Prevent static build-up in mobile equipment, such as hospital beds, carts, and diagnostic trolleys. Demonstrated to reduce discharge spikes during movement.
  • Medical Carts & Furniture: Grounded and ESD-safe surfaces for cleanrooms and critical care areas, improving safety and minimizing equipment failure.
  • EX Tubing for Gases: Static-safe solutions for oxygen and anesthetic gas delivery systems, helping to prevent dangerous ignitions in oxygen-rich environments.
  • Components for Medical Devices: ESD-safe enclosures and parts for sensitive instrumentation, especially in imaging and monitoring.

These applications benefit from key PRE-ELEC® grades such as PP 1375, TPU 1512 and TP16159 designed for durability, processability, and compliance with electrostatic standards.
