Anti-static Sunshade
Currently, some stations use regular umbrellas to provide shade. Most of these umbrellas are made from nylon fabric, which tends to generate static electricity due to friction during opening and closing. Moreover, they often lack proper grounding, which can pose serious electrostatic safety hazards, especially in flammable environments like fuel unloading areas.
The PS-AE Anti-Static Umbrella is designed to address these risks. It uses specialized anti-static fabric and a sturdy aluminum alloy frame that prevents the build-up of static electricity during use. This umbrella not only protects workers from harsh sunlight but also eliminates hidden safety hazards. In addition, the PS-AE model features a customized appearance for PetroChina/Sinopec, with a standard printed company logo, ensuring a professional and unified look across station facilities.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES:
1. Specialized anti-static fabric – prevents static build-up:
The umbrella surface is made of high-grade anti-static fabric with a surface resistivity lower than 10⁹ Ω. This prevents the accumulation of static charges, ensuring safe operation in hazardous environments.
2. Flame-retardant umbrella surface:
If exposed to an open flame, the umbrella material does not propagate fire and will self-extinguish once the ignition source is removed—enhancing safety in explosive zones.
3. Durable aluminum alloy frame:
Crafted from AL-Mg-Si aluminum alloy tubing, this explosion-proof conductive material offers strong mechanical durability while preventing sparks from accidental impacts. The integrated tubular design is more aesthetically pleasing and structurally stronger than standard wire frames.
4. Convenient pull-cord opening mechanism:
The umbrella opens via a pull-cord system for ease of use. The top canopy includes ventilation for airflow and improved wind resistance, enhancing stability in outdoor environments.
5. Dual function – acts as a personal electrostatic discharge device:
The umbrella comes equipped with a static discharge ball. During dry autumn and winter seasons when human static buildup is more common, users can store the umbrella and attach the discharge ball to the pole, allowing it to serve as a grounding device for human body static electricity.
