Wearing anti-static clothing can isolate the new coronavirus
It is rare to take chemical fiber because of its low moisture regain rate. In dry conditions, friction is prone to generate static electricity, while natural or regenerated cellulose fibers such as cotton fiber and viscose fiber are easy to absorb moisture in the atmosphere due to their high moisture regain rate. Absolutely speaking, it is not easy to build up static electricity. In the anti-static clothing, in order to further improve the anti-static function, metal conductive fibers that are not easy to accumulate static electricity and anti-static decomposition fibers are added. This kind of material can be used to reduce dust and small particles in the appearance and pile of anti-static clothing.
The masks or protective clothing used for the protection of the new coronavirus are important to achieve focal protection through a layer of non-woven material that filters and isolates viruses or fine particles. However, anti-static clothing does not have an effective layer for filtering and isolating viruses or fine particles. When the virus-carrying fine particles are passed through non-static adsorption methods, such as gas transmission, droplet transmission, and anti-static dressing, the virus or fine particles may still pass through the anti-static clothing and hit the human body. Therefore, wearing anti-static clothing on the surface cannot achieve the result of better protection against the new coronavirus.
Static electricity is an objective natural sign, which can be produced in many ways, such as fighting, rubbing, and peeling. When people walk in ordinary clothes, a large electrostatic voltage (>1000V) will be generated, but it will not be generated when people walk in anti-static clothes. The anti-static clothing is made of common anti-static cleaning fabrics, which have high-efficiency anti-static, dust-proof functions, thin and smooth, and clear weaves.
