I-Static eliminators isetyenziselwa ukushicilelwa kwe-flexo, kubandakanywa uhlobo lwe-induction, uhlobo lokukhutshwa kwe-corona ephezulu kunye nohlobo lwe-isotope ye-radioactive. Umgaqo wabo wokuphelisa umbane ongatshintshiyo uyafana. Zonke zi-ionize iimolekyuli ezahlukeneyo emoyeni zibe yi-ion. umoya uba ngumaleko we-ion kunye nomqhubi wombane. Inxalenye yentlawulo ye-static ehlawulisiweyo ingathathi hlangothi, kwaye inxalenye yayo ikhokelwa zi-ion zomoya.

umatshini wokushicilela we-flexo Ukuprintwa kwefilimu yeplastiki, i-antistatic agents zisetyenziselwa ukuphelisa umbane ongatshintshiyo. Ii-Antistatic agents ziyinxalenye ye-surfactants, iimolekyuli zazo ziqulethe amaqela e-polar hydrophilic kunye namaqela e-non-polar lipophilic. Amaqela e-lipophilic anokuhambelana okuthile kunye neeplastiki, kwaye amaqela e-hydrophilic angenza i-ionize okanye afunxe amanzi emoyeni.
