The conductive fiber on anti-static work clothes is a key component to achieve anti-static function. These conductive fibers are responsible for conducting static electricity buildup from the surface of the body or clothing to the ground, thereby reducing electrostatic discharge and preventing problems caused by static electricity

Types of conductive fibers. Common conductive fibers include carbon fiber and copper fiber. Carbon fiber, usually black in color, is a common conductive material that has good electrical conductivity and relatively low cost, so it is widely used in many anti-static work clothes. Copper fiber, which is brassy in color, conducts electricity better but is more expensive and is often used in applications that require a higher level of anti-static properties.

These multi-strand fibers are evenly distributed in the fabric of anti-static work clothes. They can be woven into the fabric or fixed on the work clothes through other methods. This uniform distribution ensures effective conductive properties.

The presence of conductive fibers helps conduct static electricity accumulation from the surface of the work clothes to the ground, preventing the accumulation and discharge of static electricity. This is critical to preventing static damage to items such as sensitive electronic components, semiconductor devices, and chemicals.
