What role does conductive fiber play in antistatic clothing?
Anti-static clothing is a commonly used protective equipment in industrial production. It uses polyester filament and high-performance durable conductive fiber. It is woven by special process and has good dustproof performance and anti-static performance. The sleeves and pants of the anti-static suit are generally designed as a unique double-layer structure, and the inner layer is made of anti-static ribbing, which can meet the needs of high-grade dust-free workshops.
With the development of industries with high anti-static requirements such as electronics and semiconductors, their requirements for anti-static overalls are constantly improving. Conductive fiber is the main force of functional fiber, and the demand for use is naturally high. Conductive fiber is a new fiber type with good electrical conductivity and durability, especially in low humidity environments. Conductive fibers woven into anti-static clothing should have appropriate length, fineness, strength and flexibility, easy to blend and interlace, have good resistance to conflict, bending, oxidation and corrosion, and do not affect the feel of the fabric and Appearance, good electrical conductivity and durability.
So why can conductive fibers be embedded in antistatic clothing for antistatic properties? The principle is that corona discharge is generated between the conductive fibers, which is a very gentle form of discharge. When the static charge reaches a certain level, a corona discharge without spark is generated, thereby eliminating static electricity. A qualified anti-static suit can effectively discharge static electricity from the human body, and avoid electrostatic damage to the electronic sensitive components on the operator.
