About Newson Gale
For over 25 years, Newson Gale has been protecting people and equipment from the dangers of electrostatic charge. Our products are used in all industries whose processes generate a high level of electrostatic charge and thus entail an increased risk of explosions.
Electrostatic charge is one of the most dangerous ignition sources of explosive vapors, gases and dust atmospheres in the industry. According to estimates by the Institute of Chemical Engineers and the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), at least two serious fires or explosions are caused by electrostatic discharge every day.
Published data shows that ignitions due to electrostatic discharges occur at least as often as incidents caused by overpressure when handling petrochemicals. Only dust explosions due to mechanical sparking occur more frequently.
