nega-stat® P190 is a unique bi-component core conducting yarn designed for product and end-uses where full grounding is essential and for use in areas where it is not possible to ensure full grounding. nega-stat® P190 is used in selected products and specific industrial situations where grounding is either not required or not possible.
Control of static electricity is necessary for a wide range of products in many industrial situations. Static electricity or “static” occurs, when two surfaces separate. On separation both surfaces become charged with an electrical static charge. A static discharge can cause damage to sensitive electronic equipment, cause a static shock and can cause an incendiary discharge and industrial explosion.
Static discharges are dangerous and can be the cause of serious personal injury or major industrial damage.
nega-stat® yarns are currently used in a wide range of industrial products to eliminate or control static electricity. nega-stat® is introduced in defined grid, or stripe patterns to woven, knitted or non-woven fabrics to provide static control according to specific industrial requirements and/or international Standards (such as EN 61340, EN 1149/5, JIS1094 etc.). nega-stat® meets all requirements according to Reach.
The unique design of nega-stat® ensures full static protection for the duration and work-life of the product in specific industrial situations.
