Advantages of using cleanroom ESD clothing specifically for touchscreens
1. The fabric itself is dust-free: Since it is worn in a cleanroom, the fabric must not be a source of dust. This dictates that ultra-cleanroom fabrics must be produced using chemically synthesized long fibers. Natural short fibers such as cotton, linen, and silk cannot be used in ultra-cleanroom fabrics, although these materials may improve wearability. Furthermore, the amount of dust generated by the selected chemical filaments must be strictly controlled. Generally speaking, fully matte polyester filaments are not suitable for weaving anti-static ultra-cleanroom fabrics. This is because the matting agent titanium dioxide added during polyester production can become a source of contamination.
2. The fabric of touchscreen cleanroom clothing must have excellent dust filtration properties: Dust in a cleanroom primarily comes from indoor air and people moving around. Once the equipment conditions are determined, improving cleanliness requires minimizing the amount of human-generated dust particles trapped within the clothing, allowing them to pass through the fabric and into the air. This is what is known as a high dust filtration rate for the fabric. Improving the dust filtration rate comes at the expense of the fabric's air permeability, so knitted fabrics and loosely woven fabrics are not suitable for clean rooms.
