Plastics and Insulating Materials- Containing the risk in hazardous areas
Wed, 20 Jan 2010 12:27:01 +0000
Traditionally, flammable liquids have been transported in metal drums and the need to earth these during filling and emptying operations, in order to prevent the build up of static electricity, is generally well known. Likewise, powders were often stored in paper sacks or fiber kegs, which allow a reasonable degree of static dissipation. Over the past [...]
