Tests polyamide blending to reduce electrostatic charge in polyester fibers, indicating a safer alternative.
Electrostatic charge (ECS) is generated all around us from the contact of any two surfaces, but because it has many hazards and negative effects on human health, many methods are being used to reduce it in the environments where it may cause problems. This study aims to test a method of reducing ESC generated by polyester strings by mixing by polyamide strings. It was found that, the value of ESC generated from the test specimens made from polyamide and polyester showed from half to quarter the value of the ESC of raw polyester when in contact with cotton, but the reduction was much greater in the case of contact with human skin. It is recommended to use this approach to reduce the value of ESC generated by polymeric fibers.
