Antistatic Glass Lining for Chemical & Pharma Processes
Static electricity is a critical risk in glass-lined chemical and pharmaceutical processes, particularly when handling low-conductivity media.
Pfaudler Pharma Conduct (PPC) Glass is a conductive glass lining solution designed to dissipate electrostatic charges from the glass surface.
It maintains the chemical resistance, durability and performance expected from glass-lined equipment.
Static Electricity in Glass-Lined Equipment
In pharmaceutical and chemical operations, electrostatic charge can develop under specific conditions, especially when working with low-conductivity or non-polar media.
Typical situations include:
- Crystallisation processes under agitation
- Operation with low-conductivity or non-polar solvents
- Charging of dry powders into the reactor
In these cases, charge may accumulate within the product and on the surface of glass-lined components, posing a risk of glass damage and potential loss of lining integrity.
A New Approach to Electrostatic Safety
Pfaudler Pharma Conduct (PPC)* Glass has been engineered to address electrostatic risks in the process industry, helping to prevent glass damage and maintain lining integrity when handling non-conductive media.
By combining increased electrical conductivity with very high dielectric strength, PPC enables controlled dissipation of electrostatic charge while maintaining the core properties of traditional glass linings.
The result is a higher level of process safety without compromising reliability.
