The following factors affect the antistatic effect of bakelite panels：
environmental factor
-Humidity: Humidity has a significant impact on the performance of anti-static plywood. In low humidity environments (relative humidity below 30%), static electricity is prone to accumulate because there is less moisture in the air, which hinders the formation of conductive pathways on the surface of the electric board. In high humidity environments (relative humidity above 70%), the moisture in the air increases the conductivity of the surface of the electric board, which helps to release static electricity. However, if the electric board is exposed to high humidity for a long time, it may become damp, thereby affecting the stability of its internal structure and anti-static performance.
-Temperature: Both high and low temperatures can have an impact. In high temperature environments, the polymer structure inside the electric wood board may change, and the performance of anti-static agents may also be affected, resulting in a decrease in anti-static effect. In low temperature environments, the electric wood board may become brittle, and the surface anti-static coating or conductive path may be damaged by cracks, thereby affecting its anti-static performance.
Usage factors
-Friction and wear: Frequent friction or excessive wear can damage the surface structure of anti-static electric boards. If the anti-static coating on the surface is worn off or new static accumulation points are generated due to friction, its anti-static ability will be reduced. For example, the anti-static effect of the electric wooden board used on workbenches where objects often slide or rub will gradually weaken with increasing use time and friction frequency.
-Chemical exposure: When anti-static electric boards come into contact with certain chemicals, chemical reactions may occur. If exposed to strong acidic and alkaline solutions, organic solvents, etc., these chemicals may corrode the surface of the electric board, dissolve anti-static agents, or change its surface conductivity, thereby affecting the anti-static effect.
Factors related to the material itself
-The quality and content of anti-static agents: The anti-static performance of anti-static plywood mainly depends on the added anti-static agents. If the quality of the anti-static agent is poor or the amount added during the production process is insufficient, its anti-static effect will inevitably be affected. And as the usage time prolongs, the anti-static agent will gradually dissipate, and the anti-static performance will also decrease accordingly.
-Production process and quality control: The manufacturing process of electric wood panels, such as mixing and pressing, can affect the distribution and bonding of anti-static agents in the material. If the anti-static agent cannot be evenly distributed during the production process, or if defects such as delamination and bubbles occur during the pressing process, it will affect the anti-static performance of the plywood.
