Nowadays, there are two main types of anti-static clothing fabrics that are commonly used, one is polyester anti-static clothing, and the other is polyester-cotton anti-static clothing (also called TC cotton anti-static clothing). These two fabrics are also made of polyester. Most of them wear anti-static clothing. In life, people definitely prefer pure cotton clothes. After all, pure cotton clothes are soft and absorb sweat and are particularly comfortable. But for anti-static products such as anti-static clothing, is pure cotton fabric better? The answer is no, polyester fabric is more suitable for anti-static clothing. Why？

The fibers of polyester are relatively long, not easy to separate lint, and relatively fine. The fabric produced is dense and has good dust-proof and dust-proof effects. Carbon fiber filaments (conductive filaments) are embedded in the polyester fabric at equal distances, usually 0.5cm or 0.25cm, so that the fabric has the effect of releasing static electricity. Moreover, polyester has very good anti-static properties and prevents the release of dust, which provides excellent anti-dust and anti-static functions for clean room workshops. Compared with anti-static clothing made of pure cotton, it has more efficient and permanent anti-static and dust-proof properties, and is thin and slippery with clear texture.

From the analysis of cleanliness, although cotton clothes can reduce the generation of static electricity, cotton clothes will cause lint and lint, and have poor sealing. The sweat and odor excreted by the human body will pollute the clean room, so they are not suitable for clean room use. Professional anti-static clothing is the most suitable. If there are no strict requirements for cleanliness, you can also wear polyester-cotton anti-static clothing. This kind of fabric is comfortable and breathable, and it also has a certain anti-static function.
