The importance of wearing anti-static clothing
With the popularity of computers and electronic products, more and more manufacturers have begun to take anti-static measures. Anti-static clothing is one of the important measures. This is because the human body is a source of static charges in the production workshop. The amount of static electricity that can be perceived will vary depending on factors such as height and foot size. For example, tall people with larger feet need to accumulate more charges to generate the same amount of electricity. In addition, the fabric of clothing, sole material and weather conditions can also affect the amount of static electricity. For example, dry weather can easily produce static electricity.
Static electricity of around 2-4 kilovolts is harmless to most people. However, electronic components can be damaged by static electricity as small as a few volts. It is estimated that 8%-33% of product damage is caused by static electricity. Anti-static clothing prevents damage to electronic components and prevents fires or explosions when working with flammable gases and liquids. Once static electricity is not controlled, it may cause a series of losses, especially in the semiconductor and electronic product industries. Static electricity on the human body is a big threat. A bending action can generate enough static electricity to penetrate the chip, causing product damage, equipment failure, Lost man-hours and product repairs. The hazards of static electricity are hidden to a certain extent. Many times, static electricity damages products, but does not completely damage the product. Therefore, it is not possible to determine whether there is a problem during factory inspection. However, product quality problems appear during the user's use. This is also This is the reason why many domestic electronic products have unstable quality and short service life. Therefore, it is urgent to solve the problem of static electricity, and workers in these industries are required to wear anti-static clothing.
Anti-static clothing is made of conductive fabrics, and static electricity can be neutralized by adding conductive fibers or using post-finished fabrics. Many anti-static garments have a wire or grid of wires embedded in cotton, polyester or blended fabrics. Generally, dense grids (5mmx5mm) have stronger antistatic capabilities than loose grids (20mmx20mm), which can effectively suppress static electricity on the human body and eliminate or reduce the hazards of electrostatic discharge.
