Antistatic fabrics are functional textiles treated with antistatic agents. By embedding conductive fibers or adding antistatic agents to reduce resistivity, they possess the ability to dissipate static charge, effectively preventing fires, explosions, and equipment damage caused by static electricity. Their core processing techniques include antistatic finishing agent post-treatment, fiber grafting modification, and blending with conductive fibers. Conductive fiber blending has become the mainstream technology due to its high durability.
These fabrics are widely used in high-risk industries such as petroleum, chemical, electronics, and aerospace for the manufacture of protective clothing, gloves, and other protective equipment. Product categories include antistatic silk, TC fabric, and TR fabric, and must comply with the national standard GB12014-2009, passing tests for surface charge density (≤5μC/m²) and half-life. Antistatic clothing must be used in conjunction with antistatic shoes and should not be put on or taken off in flammable or explosive environments to ensure safety.
