Understand the safety protection of anti-static clothing
Under normal circumstances, static electricity is not harmful to the human body, but in the field of electronic computers, the loss caused by static electricity can reach 5 billion US dollars a year. 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 in the production workshop, people are the largest source of static charges.
The perceivable amount of static electricity will vary depending on factors such as the height of the body and the size of the feet. For example, people with a tall body and larger feet need to accumulate more charge to generate the same amount of electricity. In addition, clothing fabrics, shoe sole materials and weather conditions can also affect the amount of static electricity. For example, dry weather is prone to static electricity.
Anti-static clothing can prevent electronic components from being damaged, and has the function of preventing fire or explosion when handling 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, causing product damage, equipment failure, wasted working hours and product repairs. Therefore, it is urgent to solve the static electricity problem.
Anti-static clothing is made of conductive fabrics, and it neutralizes static electricity by adding conductive fibers or using finished fabrics. The biggest application of antistatic fabrics is for workwear products. Its largest consumer group is electronics and computer companies. Due to the increasing use of electronic circuit boards in vehicles, motor vehicle manufacturers have also become an important consumer group of anti-static clothing. Antistatic fabrics are also used in carpets, filter cloths, anti-static brushes, conveyor belts, underwear, clean room cloths and smart fabrics. And the application of anti-static products in these areas will bring huge profits.
Currently, few companies specialize in the production of anti-static fibers or yarns alone. Some companies specialize in the production of anti-static products and electrostatic discharge products, ranging from floor materials to packaging and clothing. Under normal circumstances, fabric companies or clothing companies used to produce work clothes or protective clothing will increase the antistatic function of the product. Many flame-retardant fabrics have also added anti-static functions.
