That has to be a typo.....70 kV is way too high to be generated with a
simple duster.

Please tell us how this 70kV was measured and who makes it if in fact it
does generate that type of charge.


No matter what the actual number is, I would not want it around our ESDS
components.  As far as equipment which is sealed up is concerned, it really
depends on what it is.


Our policy is not to allow the dusters in our factories as we use a topical
cleaner and a lint free wipe to remove dust.


Regards,

Phil
