Use anti-static clothing to protect your employees and company
Our mission is to clarify all issues related to the electrostatic workwear industry. Therefore, this article is to inform you of all the special features of anti-static clothing and the benefits of wearing it.
First of all, the meaning of anti-static must be defined, such as "the meaning of "designed to avoid or reduce static electricity" (anti-static work clothes, anti-static footwear...).
Static electricity may be a major problem in many industries, and it is a natural phenomenon that should not be underestimated. A survey in the United States estimated that the huge losses in the electronics industry were about $18 billion, which was directly attributable to problems caused by static electricity. In addition, this is a huge loss, which is not uncommon in various departments around the world. Therefore, we should not ignore this issue.
The accumulation of static electricity and uncontrolled discharge can have serious consequences for people. Therefore, in order to show you these dangers more effectively, we take the actual scene as an example, which represents the daily situation of various industries.
Scenario-an employee working in the food industry inadvertently triggers flammable emissions during a routine activity-causing an explosion.
Many of us are aware of this situation. However, this is due to friction caused by employee movement. A specific example of static energy accumulation is that when two people pass by each other, a part of the upper arm rubs against the upper body, causing static electricity to accumulate. As a result, if the aforementioned energy is suddenly released, it may cause an explosion due to a mixture of dust and air or even air and gasoline.
The best way to reduce static electricity accumulation is to equip company employees with anti-static clothing. This professional clothing is made using stretched rather than broken fibers. These fibers are synthetic fibers, plus plastic and rubber to ensure they stretch and generate as little static electricity as possible.
Anti-static manufacturers provide a series of anti-static clothing products, including:
Men's work clothes with convertible collar. Comfortable work clothes for performing job duties. The overalls are closed on the front, and Popper is hidden by the placket to avoid contact between metal and Popper. Long sleeves, loose cuffs and adjustable clips. Patch pockets with modified corners can be made into a technical dress suitable for daily use.
Created EN1149-1 standard for this kind of clothing-anti-static and anti-static work clothes
This European standard specifies static electricity requirements and test methods for protective clothing. These static electricity dissipate static electricity to prevent the formation of sparks that can cause fires.
