What role does conductive fiber play in antistatic clothing
Anti-static clothing is a commonly used protective equipment in industrial production. It uses polyester filaments and high-performance and durable conductive fibers. It is woven with a special process and 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. The inner layer uses anti-static ribs, which can meet the needs of high-level dust-free workshops.
With the development of industries with high antistatic requirements such as electronics and semiconductors, their requirements for antistatic workwear are also constantly increasing. As the main force of functional fibers, conductive fibers naturally increase in demand. Conductive fiber is a new fiber variety, which has good electrical conductivity and durability, especially in low humidity environments, it can still maintain its characteristics. The conductive fibers woven into the antistatic clothing should have appropriate length, fineness, strength and flexibility, be easy to blend and interlace, and have good conflict resistance, bending resistance, oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, without affecting the fabric's feel and Appearance, good conductive function and good durability.
So why can conductive fibers be woven in antistatic clothing to have antistatic properties? The principle is that corona discharge occurs between conductive fibers, which is a very gentle form of discharge. When the electrostatic charge reaches a certain level, a corona discharge without sparks will be generated to eliminate static electricity. A qualified anti-static clothing can effectively discharge the static electricity of the human body, and prevent the electrostatic contact of the operator from damage to the electronic sensitive components.
