Plastic bucket excellent insulation properties

Plastic bucket excellent insulation properties

 

Most plastic bucket is now using synthetic high molecular weight polyethylene and polyethylene, this material resistivity larger, with good insulation. Gasoline sloshing back and forth in a plastic bucket, friction, impact, when flying, can generate static electricity. When the static voltage plastic barrel reaches 300 volts, will produce electrostatic discharge phenomena, flashing a spark. Due to the low ignition gasoline, plastic barrels of gasoline is very easy to burn, or even an explosion. The drum made of metal material, a metal material with good electrical conductivity, the charge can be transferred to the ground, to prevent spark, igniting the gasoline, so use iron instead of plastic barrels transported gasoline.
