We are delighted to introduce Polyatex®, our unique ATEX/IECEx Rated Polyurethane Film.
Polyatex® is a clear ether based sheeting which is anti-static in accordance with the requirements of IEC60079-0:2018 clause 26.13 meaning the material is static dissipative and is suitable for use in ATEX / IECEx equipment with a material requirement to meet this test standard.
"Static electricity is also a known risk. Under certain circumstances, a discharge of static electricity can create the spark that starts a fire or triggers an explosion."
- Quote from the Risk Division at AXA XL.
Polyatex® is extremely tough, durable and tear resistant making it suitable for fabricating into sleeves, chutes and connectors in product transfer applications. It also complies with FDA regulations and does not contain PVC or latex making it a popular option for food contact applications where an anti-static durable material is required. Polyatex® can be supplied in sheet or roll form, or manufactured by us into bespoke products such as chutes , connectors, gaskets, linings and protective covers for flammable liquids.

Test Certification and Test Report is available upon request.
Note: Due to the potential safety risks associated with static in explosive atmospheres, we recommend you obtain independent expert advice on suitability of this material for your application.
