Anti-Static TPU Hose: Applications, Selection and ESD Safety
Compressed-air tubing can become part of an electrostatic discharge problem when it is installed around sensitive electronic components, automated test equipment or ESD-controlled workstations. Standard pneumatic tubing may route air correctly but provide no documented anti-static property. In these areas, the hose must be selected as part of the facility’s complete electrostatic control plan. The HOMIPNEU Anti-Static TPU Hose for Pneumatic Tubing is designed for compressed-air lines in electronics manufacturing and other ESD-controlled environments. Its product page specifies 100% high-performance thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, a surface resistance range of 107 to 109 ohms, dimensional tolerance of +/-0.12 mm, black standard color, and five metric OD/ID options. Anti-static does not mean universally conductive, grounded, explosion-proof or certified for every ESD program. The published resistance value must be compared with the project’s required standard, measurement method and installed-system design. What Is Anti-Static TPU Hose? Anti-static TPU hose is flexible pneumatic tubing made from a TPU compound formulated to provide controlled electrical resistance. The hose carries compressed air while its material helps limit electrostatic charge accumulation compared with ordinary tubing that has no stated…
