Phil:
                There are silicones that are use in Hi voltage as
insulators to prevent arcing. We use to use a red color silicone on 50KV
power supply. We added it on the pointed surfaces that would start the
arcing and eliminated the problem. I am sure that if you do some
research either with Dow Corning tech support or Hi Volt power supply
manufacturers, specially the old timers, they could tell you how to fix
that kind of an anomaly by recommending the right silicone product. We
used to buy the red silicone from a local hardware store.

        Regards,

Hmmmm... This is good information, but it is not relative to our
problem.

We have a high voltage generator in a molded plastic flame retardant
enclosure.  We are finding that with the material presently used there
appears to be static charging going on which is causing instability and
arcing in the unit.

Certainly changing the material on the enclosure is probably the best
long term solution.  The question is how can we improve the inventory we
have on hand so it is less prone to static charging.  It is not
practical to recoat the unit regularly.  I need to coat it once and have
it work for a very long time.

Best place to apply an anti-stat is always last step in process.
