A static charge is created by friction or from rubbing different materials together. In laboratories, in the semiconductor industry or industries with a potential of ignition or explosion, action must be taken to prevent the creation of static electricity. These brushes neutralize static energy, thus preventing the creation of electrons in cleaning or brushing processes.
They come in various sizes, and use special bristles made from animal hairs combined with synthetic, Carbon fiber, or stainless steel fiber may also be used in various applications.
