What exactly is the function of antistatic clothing?
Antistatic clothing is commonly used in electronics, optical instruments, pharmaceuticals, microbial engineering, precision instruments, and other industries such as food, fireworks, and medicine. Antistatic clothing is made of antistatic fabric to prevent the accumulation of static electricity in clothing. It is suitable for use in static-sensitive locations or fire/explosion hazard areas. It is a special work garment with cleanroom and antistatic properties.
Antistatic clothing is made of specialized antistatic cleanroom fabric, possessing highly efficient and permanent antistatic and dustproof properties.
Specialized overlock sewing machinery is used during the garment manufacturing process to effectively reduce particle generation. Cleanroom hook and loop fasteners prevent lint from contaminating the environment. Different styles are available according to the required cleanliness level, and conductive fibers are used in the sewing to maintain electrical continuity throughout the garment. The sleeves and trouser legs have a unique double-layer structure, with the inner layer using conductive or antistatic ribbing to meet the requirements of high-level cleanroom environments. Antistatic work garments made by incorporating conductive fibers into synthetic fiber fabrics eliminate static electricity based on both charge leakage and neutralization mechanisms.
Static electricity elimination in antistatic systems is based on two mechanisms: charge leakage and neutralization. When grounded, static electricity on the fabric is neutralized by the corona discharge of conductive fibers and can also be discharged to the ground through the conductive fibers; when not grounded, static electricity is eliminated by the weak corona discharge of conductive fibers.
