In a factory that produces agricultural chemicals, hoses would cause a small static shock when workers touched them, even though the hoses were grounded. The hose was used to convey powder materials, which would stick inside the hose. This loss of efficiency was a major problem for the producer.

Static electricity causes powder to stick to the hose, reducing production efficiency
Switched to antistatic TOYOTOP-E Hose. Charging was suppressed, which provided safety, eliminated clogging of raw materials and improved productivity. The TOYOTOP-E Hose has an antistatic effect due to the double effect of blended antistatic agent and conductive threaded. It also enables easy grounding.
