When the Coating Resists: Electrostatics on Dielectric Separator Application Lines.
If you've ever heard clicking sounds on the atmospheric section of an R2R production line, seen fine dust "jumping" from one section of the tape to another, or experienced an unexplained deterioration in adhesion on finished rolls, electrostatics are likely the cause. On modern R2R lines, whose process involves applying dielectric separator layers, static electricity is not just an annoying nuisance, but a serious threat to the process. Why is this important?
