Antistatic fire retardant plastic sheeting offers a versatile range of applications anywhere that fire safety and protection against electrostatic discharge is a priority. From dust containment and clean room uses to safeguarding electronic devices, this product is often an instrumental piece to the puzzle for a variety of industries.
Here’s a closer look at what makes antistatic fire retardant plastic sheeting so special:
What Is Anti Static Fire Retardant Plastic Sheeting?
Antistatic fire retardant plastic sheeting is designed to prevent the buildup of static electricity and reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge. Americover does this by weaving materials that repel static charges and facilitate their gradual dissipation throughout the sheeting fabric. We recommend using it anywhere that there’s an increased risk of electrical fires or dust contamination as a preventative measure to avoid the ignition of fires.
Antistatic fire retardant plastic sheeting is the go-to choice for projects that need to go above and beyond when it comes to site safety.
Some applications may include:
Dust Containment In ESD-Sensitive Areas
Improper dust containment can lead to a lot of problems in ESD-sensitive areas such as hospitals and server rooms. For one, a negative change to air quality can directly impact the health of those in the building. But it doesn’t stop at just keeping the dust out. Antistatic fire retardant plastic sheeting is purpose-built to prevent static electricity buildup. This means facilities with specialized electronic equipment have an extra safety barrier while operating in less forgiving environments.
Antistatic fire retardant plastic sheeting is ideal for creating a dust containment system that not only keeps dust from escaping a work site, but also minimizes fire hazards. After all, one stray spark can often be all it takes to compromise a whole building.

Targeted Protection For Electronic Equipment
Antistatic plastic sheeting isn’t just used as a lining for the job site though. Americover can also provide oversized plastic bag variants made with antistatic poly with an elastic band- perfect for storing servers, computer parts, and other electronics. This provides a targeted solution to prevent static damage without the cost of having to line the whole room.
Placing electronic equipment within our antistatic bags creates a safety net that provides the level of protection you need for your most valuable assets. (Please note, the antistatic bags are not fire retardant.)
Additional Applications
Reinforced ASFR6 can even serve as a vapor barrier or insulation cover for projects that need more than just fire and dust protection. Its rugged design adds durability while still providing excellent fire retardant properties, making it a fantastic choice for any workspace that requires extra care.
