The role of conductive fiber on anti-static clothing
Anti-static clothing is a commonly used protective equipment in industrial production. It is made of polyester filament and high-performance and long-lasting conductive fibers, which are mixed and woven through a special process. It has good dust-proof and anti-static properties. The sleeves and trousers of anti-static clothing are generally designed with a unique double-layer structure, and the inner layer uses anti-static ribs, which can meet the needs of high-level dust-free workshops.
With the development of industries such as electronics and semiconductors that have very high requirements for anti-static, their requirements for anti-static work clothes are constantly improving. Conductive fibers are the main force of functional fibers, and the demand for application is naturally rising. Conductive fiber is a new type of fiber, with good conductivity and durability, especially in a low humidity environment, it can still maintain its characteristics. The conductive fibers woven into anti-static clothing should have appropriate length, fineness, strength and flexibility, easy to blend and interlace, have good collision resistance, bending resistance, oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, and do not affect the feel and feel of the fabric. Appearance, good conductivity, and durability.
So why can conductive fibers embedded in anti-static clothing have anti-static properties? The principle is that corona discharge occurs between conductive fibers, which is a very gentle form of discharge. When the static charge reaches a certain level, a corona discharge without sparks will be generated, thereby eliminating static electricity. A qualified anti-static clothing can effectively discharge the static electricity of the human body and prevent the static electricity on the operator's body from contacting electronic sensitive components from damage.
