    Static charge is the electricity generated when there is friction between two objects, surfaces, or substances. This includes liquids and powders, such as petroleum, solvents, fuels, or other chemicals.  

    Under certain conditions, the buildup of static electricity can pose a significant safety risk. Even in non-conductive containers, something rubbing the outside surface of the unit can cause static electricity to build.
