PolyATEX® | Distinctive ATEX/IECEx Certified Polyurethane Film
PolyATEX® is a transparent, ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane film designed to be anti-static in line with IEC60079-0:2018 clause 26.13. This static dissipative property makes it ideal for use in ATEX/IECEx compliant equipment requiring this standard.
Static electricity poses a significant hazard. Under certain conditions, a static discharge can ignite a fire or cause an explosion.
