Frequently Asked Questions

How does copper tinsel eliminate static?
The fine, sharply pointed copper strands create a corona discharge effect that neutralizes static charges on moving webs and sheets. The copper wire core ensures positive grounding for effective charge dissipation.
Copper tinsel is highly durable and typically lasts for extended periods under normal operating conditions. Regular inspection for wear or damage helps maintain optimal performance.
Copper tinsel is a passive system requiring minimal maintenance. Periodic cleaning to remove dust or debris and checking ground connections ensures continued effectiveness.
While tinsel can provide some static reduction without grounding, proper grounding is essential for maximum static elimination. Our tinsel features a copper wire core specifically designed for positive grounding.
Copper tinsel is a passive system with no power requirements, no maintenance costs for emitter points, and no risk of electrical failure. It provides reliable static control at a fraction of the cost of active ionization systems.
Yes, copper tinsel installation is straightforward. Position the tinsel close to the web or sheet surface and ensure proper grounding. Our team can provide installation guidance for your specific application.
