Discharge processes, which may conveniently be utilised for the dissipation of static, are analysed quantitatively and shown to be of three main types. Conduction within the textile itself, which is responsible for the well-known humidity effect. Conduction by surface impurities, a different mechanism which accounts for the action of antistatic agents. Gaseous discharge; this deternnines maximum charge densities in accordance with geometrical considerations.
