Analysis of the development status of anti-static fabrics from 2012 to 2017

In recent years, both at home and abroad have been continuously exploring the development of conductive fibers to eliminate static electricity in fibers and fabrics. There was no testing standard for anti-static fabrics in China at first. Anti-static fabrics meet the anti-static function, forming the direction of development of anti-static multi-functional fabrics.
​
Since our country has not yet formulated corresponding testing standards for ultra-clean fabrics or clean clothing, the selection of anti-static ultra-clean fabrics can only be selected by each application unit based on the requirements of the working environment or after testing or experience. A brief analysis was made on the development status and development trends of anti-static fabrics at home and abroad.
​
Since the 1960s, people have been continuously exploring the development of conductive fibers to eliminate static electricity in fibers and fabrics. The earliest conductive fiber was stainless steel fiber developed in the United States. However, it was difficult to process this fiber when blended with ordinary fibers, and the product was not effective; 1974 In 1978, DuPont in the United States successfully developed a concentric sheath-core composite conductive fiber. In textile processing, only 1%-2% can be mixed to achieve satisfactory results; in 1978, Japan’s Toray Company’s island-type conductive acrylic fiber not only conducts electricity
​
The effect is good and the physical properties of the fiber are excellent. To prevent the accumulation of static electricity in clothing, conductive fibers are mixed into the fabric at roughly intervals or evenly during weaving. In the 1960s and 1970s, the United States, Japan and other countries formulated testing methods for static electricity on textile fabrics.
​
Due to the lag in the development and production of conductive fibers in our country, until the end of the last century, very few of our country’s anti-static fabrics used imported conductive fibers to produce anti-static fabrics. Most of them were ordinary fabrics that were treated with anti-static chemicals or had better hygroscopicity. Pure cotton fabrics replace anti-static fabrics. There is no testing standard for anti-static fabrics. Anti-static clothing testing refers to Japan’s anti-static safety guidelines. It was not until the late 1980s that the testing standard GB12014-89 for anti-static clothing was formulated.
​
my country began research on conductive fibers in the 1980s. From the end of the last century to the beginning of this century, my country has successively developed stainless steel metal fibers, nylon-based and polyester-based carbon-containing conductive fibers, and nylon-based and polyester-based oxide-containing conductive fibers. , which has greatly promoted the production of anti-static fabrics in our country and cultivated many companies specializing in the development and production of anti-static fabrics. In particular, after referring to the European, American and Japanese anti-static fabric standards and formulating the GB12014-2009 anti-static fabric and clothing standard, the performance of my country’s anti-static fabrics has reached or even exceeded the performance requirements of European, American and Japanese anti-static fabrics.
​
With the development of technology and the strengthening of people’s safety awareness, the requirements for safety protection clothing are getting higher and higher. Anti-static fabrics not only meet the anti-static function, the main difference between anti-static ultra-clean fabrics and ordinary anti-static fabrics is “super-clean” “Concept of relative humidity ≤ 30%, the charge level of pure cotton clothing is the same as that of chemical fiber clothing under relative conditions. Anti-static clothing made of subconductor materials should be worn in high-voltage charged workplaces. It is also required to be comfortable and multi-functional. In order to prevent the accumulation of static electricity in clothes, work clothes are sewn with anti-static fabrics as the fabric. For example, in summer, anti-static fabrics are required to have moisture-absorbing and sweat-wicking functions; in flammable and explosive places such as petroleum and chemical industries, anti-static and fire-proof fabrics are required; in field operations of electric power, anti-static and tear-proof fabrics are required. In short, anti-static fabrics are being applied to other industries. The combination of functional fabrics forms the direction of development of anti-static multi-functional fabrics.
