What are the applications of conductive fibers in anti-static gloves
Anti-static gloves are mainly used in electrostatic environments that require gloves, such as electronics, precision instruments, machinery manufacturing and other industries. Conductive fiber has good antistatic properties and has been widely used in antistatic glove cloth, which can meet the performance requirements of antistatic gloves.
Conductive fiber is a new fiber variety that appeared in the 1960s, and it usually guides the conductivity to be greater than 10-7Ω-1. Cm-1 fiber. This fiber has good electrical conductivity and durability, especially under low humidity, it still has good durability and antistatic properties.
The antistatic mechanism of conductive fibers is the corona discharge between conductive fibers. Corona discharge is a very mild form of discharge. When the static voltage reaches a certain value, a spark-free corona discharge is generated to eliminate static electricity. This phenomenon is generally considered to be the conductive fibers in the fabric, under the action of the electrostatic field, ionize the surrounding air to form positive and negative ions. One of the positive and negative ions is opposite to the static charge carried by the fabric, and the other is neutralized with the environment or the earth to eliminate static electricity. The significant difference between corona discharge and electrostatic leakage is that the former can eliminate static electricity on the fabric without grounding, while the latter needs to be grounded or can eliminate static electricity when the air is heavy.
Qualified anti-static gloves can prevent the operator's fingers from directly contacting electrostatic sensitive components, and can safely discharge the human body static electricity carried by the operator, thereby effectively preventing the static electricity generated by the human body from damaging the product and preventing electronic components from being damaged and aging due to static electricity . Therefore, the use of conductive fibers as the material of antistatic gloves is a mature antistatic technology.
