Product Description:
ESD clothing made with FairtechTextiles fabrics is the best solution for protecting electronic components
against ESD. Our Anti Static fabrics are certified to European
Standards. These antistatic fabrics are specifically designed to
prevent the ESD effect when working with electronics,
high-explosive vapors, or in super-clean lab environments.
Antistatic fabric, also known as conductive fabric or ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) fabric, is a type of textile that
is designed to dissipate or neutralize static electricity. It is
commonly used in industries where static electricity can cause
damage to sensitive electronic components or create safety hazards.
Here's some information about antistatic fabric:
- Anti-static cloth styles: 5mm strip, 5mm grid and 2.5mm grid.
- It is mainly used in the production of dust-proof clothing,
anti-static clothing, anti-static mask, anti-static gloves,
anti-static shoe and shoes cover.
- The fabric is 1.5m wide, surface resistance 10^6Ω-10^9Ω, available
for class 10-100 cleanroom.
- There are four types: anti static polyester fabric (98% polyester
and 2% conductive yarn), anti static TC fabric (63% polyester+35%
cotton + 2% conductive yarn), Anti static Diamond fabric, and Anti
static T Shirt fabric.
Different type of fabric adapts to the requirements of different
anti static or cleanroom environment. It widely used in
Microelectronics, optical electronics, precision instruments, and
aerospace which are more sensitive to static electricity and have
higher requirements in cleanroom.
Why we need the Anti static fabric?
- Uncontrolled release from static build-up is a potential hazard in
many industries, especially where combustible fuels, gases and
dusts are present. It is also equally hazardous to the safe
assembly of sensitive components in clean rooms and the operation
and maintenance of electronic equipment and controls. One of the
most serious risks is from the human body, which is capable of
generating up to 40,000 volts of static electricity. ESD occurs
when two materials come into contact and then separate, resulting
in a spark discharge when a metallic (conductive) object is
touched. This discharge can potentially damage electronic circuits,
precision machinery, and even cause gas explosions.To prevent ESD
and discharge static electricity in the air, antistatic fibers are
woven into the fabric.
- The primary purpose of antistatic fabric is to prevent the buildup
and discharge of static electricity. Static electricity can
accumulate on the surface of materials or clothing due to friction,
and when discharged, it can potentially damage electronic devices
or ignite flammable substances. Antistatic fabric helps to minimize
these risks by providing a controlled path for the dissipation of
static charges.
- Antistatic fabrics are typically made by incorporating conductive
fibers into the fabric structure. These conductive fibers are often
carbon-based or metallic, such as carbonized polyester or stainless
steel fibers. The conductive fibers are woven or blended with other
fibers to create a conductive network throughout the fabric.
- Antistatic fabrics possess a level of electrical conductivity that
allows them to quickly dissipate static charges. The conductivity
is achieved through the presence of the conductive fibers within
the fabric. This conductivity helps to minimize the accumulation of
static charges and prevent the sudden discharge that can damage
sensitive electronic components.
- Antistatic fabrics find applications in various industries where
static electricity control is crucial. Industries such as
microelectronics, aerospace, and high-precision manufacturing rely
heavily on antistatic fabrics. They are also used in the clothing
industry for manufactures of specialized garments used in
static-sensitive areas.
Features:
Called "conductive silk", this fabric is made from special
polyester filaments and high-quality conductive yarns. It can be
used for sewing various functional garments, ranging from
coveralls, suits, jackets, caps, and boots to name a few. It has
excellent resistance to static, chemicals, and abrasions, and is
also designed for Class 1000 cleanrooms and higher.
With a wide range of applications such as electronics, medicine,
biology, optics, space flight, and more, this fabric has the
ability to meet ESD standards with system resistance between
10e6-10e8Ω. This fabric works to prevent the accumulation of static
electricity and when spun, it can separate or interweave conductive
fibre fabrics.
Speaking of performance, at a temperature of 20 ± 5 ℃ and a
humidity of 30-40%, the density average charge of a fabric surface
after washing 100 times would be ≤ 7.0μc/m2, and every cloth has an
electricity etymology of < 0.6μ c / pc. The washability of this
fabric is rated A-grade ≥33.0 h and B-grade ≥16.5 h.

Applications of Antistatic Fabrics
Antistatic fabrics are used in many industries with static
electricity control as a major safety concern. Such use cases
include:
- Electronics and semiconductor manufacturing – gloves, garments and
cleanroom clothing for personnel to prevent electrostatic discharge
that can damage sensitive electronic components.
- Automotive industry – seating materials and protective clothing to
prevent static buildup and potential hazards during vehicle
assembly.
- Pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors – use in cleanrooms and
sterile environments to minimize static electricity and protect
sensitive equipment or products.
- Explosives and flammable substance handling – clothing and
equipment used by workers handling explosive materials or flammable
substances to prevent static discharge and potential ignition.
Maintenance and Durability
Antistatic fabrics typically retain their conductivity and other
antistatic properties through their useful life. Nonetheless,
following specific manufacturer guidelines for proper care and
maintenance is crucial to ensure continued performance. Guidelines
for washing, drying, and handling should be followed in order to
preserve functionality.

FAQ:
Q1. What are anti static fabrics?
A1:fabric range prevents electrostatic discharges and protects from
fire thanks to the intimate mixing of its fibers. All of them
comply with standards EN 1149 Protective clothing with
electrostatic properties + EN ISO 11612 Protective clothing against
heat and flame.
Q2. Is 100 cotton anti static?
A2: In the past, the majority of protective clothing used in the
field of ESD was 100% cotton. As with all natural fibres, this
offers the advantage of being subject to only minimal antistatic
build-up without the use of additional equipment.
Q3. What is ESD and non ESD?
A3: ESD stands for “electrostatic discharge”. Unlike anti-static,
electrostatic discharge is not dangerous for people themselves, but
is dangerous for very sensitive electronic components. People can
generate dangerous voltages through friction, electrostatic
induction or contact build-up.
Q4. How do ESD materials work?
A4: Created using a combination of insulative plastics and
conductive metals, electrostatic-dissipative materials allow
electric charges to flow slowly through the material while
simultaneously reducing the energy output to prevent electrostatic
discharge.
Q5. What are the disadvantages of ESD?
A5: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) occurs when a non-conducting
surface is rubbed against another and the contacted surfaces are
then parted. ESD can damage or destroy sensitive electronic
components, erase or alter magnetic media, or set off explosions or
fires in flammable environments.
