Stainless steel fibers for the anti-static textile industry
Stainless steel metal fibers and yarns provide excellent shielding against ESD in a wide range of applications. Stainless steel metal fiber is a stretchbroken sliver of very fine stainless steel fibers. They can be blended with all spun fibers at the spinning mill to obtain anti-static yarns in a wide range of yarn numbers. Woven fabrics, tufted and woven carpets, knitted and braided fabrics, and needle-punched felts are made
permanently electrostatically controlled when small quantities of stainless steel metal fibers are blended with the textile material.
Stainless steel metal fiber has superior washing characteristics (high durability) and fulfills EN1149-1, EN1149-3, EN1149-5 and EN61340-5-1. Thanks to its superior conductive properties, the garment does not charge.
