There is illustrated and described a plastics material hose comprising: a hose wall of plastics material, and an electrical conductor, wherein the electrical conductor is constructed as a braid having a plurality of fibres. In order to achieve compensation for and reliable discharge of electrical charge concentrations with specific disadvantages being avoided, it is proposed that the braid have at least one carbon fibre.

The present invention relates to a protective ionizing laminate (PIL) static eliminating device that uses a wide variety of laminate materials to protect ionizing points that eliminate static. In an embodiment, the protective encasement is made from laminate and in others it is made from a substrate onto which of electrically conductive or static dissipative material is printed or placed. The present invention includes a plurality of electrically conductive or static dissipative material or microfibers, wherein the plurality of electrically conductive or static dissipative material or microfibers forms a pattern and a ground in communication with the electrically conductive or static dissipative microfibers or material. The laminate materials form an encasement or enclosure of the electrically conductive or static dissipative microfibers or material and at least a portion of the ground. The PIL of the present invention includes an edge or slit in the enclosure that exposes the plurality of electrically conductive or static dissipative material or microfibers at the edge or slit to create a series of ionizing points. When air between the ionizing points and charged material passes by or near the PIL static eliminating device, the PIL sufficiently removes or reduces static charge from the passing material.
