What is static electricity?

Static electricity is a kind of accumulated charge which is a result of an imbalance of electrons and protons. Rubbing two materials together may slough off an atom or two as they touch with each other. This creates an imbalance in one of the materials, which sits there waiting for an opportunity to balance itself when something with a corresponding imbalance comes close enough. The balancing discharge causes a pop of electricity or a static discharge. Because this voltage is just there, it is called static. As it seeks to move to something else, the movement classifies it as current electricity, and no longer static.

Why is static electricity harmful in special occasions?

Static electricity in the wrong environments, however, may be harmful or even fatal. Some locations must eliminate these little charges without excuses. Agricultural businesses, such as grain storehouses, accumulate dust which is easily ignited by a spark. The resulting explosions are fatal. Another danger is that the actual movement of the grains as they are transported from truck to silo can accumulate a static charge. This sort of buildup is usually thought out and the equipment is well grounded, but the transient sparks from other sources can be very explosive. Power tools are usually prohibited in these areas.

Pharmaceutical plants, manufacturing facilities, and other factories using chemicals and gases which are explosive should protect themselves from explosions. These places usually have required grounding of any moving item to eliminate static build-up, and tools are also closely monitored or prohibited.

What does Weston do to eliminate static electricity to keep relative workers safe?

Polyester can be static before treatment. When we produce spunlace, by forming a nonwoven web from a thermoplastic mixture of an antistatic agent and a thermoplastic polyester fiber, the non woven web having improved antistatic properties as well as alcohol repellency properties is generally provided. A higher energy treatment is applied by us to the surface of the nonwoven webbing. Then, a fluorinated agent is added to the surface of the spunlace web utilizing a monomer deposition process. The monomer deposition process can generally include evaporating a liquid fluorinated agent in a vacuum chamber, followed by depositing the fluorinated agent gas on a surface of the spunlace web, and exposing the surface to radiation. All these technics will make the polyester spunlace into a more efficiency barrier against of static electricity.

We produce anti-static polyester spunlace.

Commonly polyester nonwovens will be static. After anti-static treatment, the 100% polyester spunlace will be good material of disposable coveralls.

The anti-static agent we use is supplied by global big brand BASF with FDA certificates, ensuring safety during daily wearing.

Its features: It has good antistatic properties, good breathability and absorption, softness and highly sanitary;

Application: surgical gowns and barrier cloth, bed sheets;

Dust free coveralls for medical care workers;

Cleanroom workers' uniforms;

Wipes for electronic appliances;

Work clothes for personnel in the mining stations;

Petroleum and chemical industrials

Product qualification:

We have FDA certificate and SGS report for this product. Also, we have data sheet for each batch of our nonwoven fabric products. Defect spot system is installed for each of our production lines.

Our advanced online-defects scanning system will give alarm for tiny spots on fabrics, so as to ensure perfect quality of each yard of nonwovens.

Producing, Loading, shipping and after-sale service:

Lead time: 8-10 days after deposit arrival.

Loading quality: 5200kgs per 20'GP container, 10800kgs per 40'HQ container;

Q&A:

1. Is the hydrophilizing agent hazardous?

The hydrophilizing agent is supplied by BASF, a top 3 chemical agent supplier in the world. It is FDA certificated hydrophilizing agent, ensuring that it is safe to food. Our fabrics are also tested and certificated by FDA

2. Will it make price cheaper than viscose polyester fabric after hydrophilic treatment?

The hydrophilic treatment is about USD40.00 per ton of nonwovens. So, it is much cheaper than 10% viscose or 20% viscose. So, it saves money for wet wipe producers.

3. Why it is good as hair wipes or dust wipes?

Because 100% polyester spunlace is easy to be static. When you clean floor with our 100% polyester spunlace disposable mops, this dry mop of 100% polyester spunlace serving like an adsorption pump will draw dust or hair.

4. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) as the trial order?

We encourage our clients to try our products at low MOQ of 500kgs.

5. What are the payment terms?

At the beginning of cooperation, it is T/T. Then we can try OA 60 days for clients with good reputation after evaluation. Weston are happy to support our clients to compete against their opponents in their local market with best quality, price and services.
