Static Control in Film Transport Systems

Kenneth L. Clum, Hugh R. McNair, John P. Pytlak

The control of static charging of motion-picture films has become more important with the trend toward high-transport-speed systems. This article describes the mechanisms of static buildup and methods of static control. Problem areas in the lab operation - including processed film, high web speeds, low humidity, and unclean environment - and some possible solutions are discussed.
