Non woven fabric is a commonly used material with extensive applications in many fields, such as textiles, medical supplies, filter materials, etc. However, non-woven fabrics have a high sensitivity to static electricity, and when there is excessive accumulation of static electricity, it is easy to cause fires. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of using non-woven fabrics, we need to take corresponding measures to avoid static electricity generated by non-woven fabrics causing fires.
The reasons for generating static electricity
Firstly, it is very important to understand the causes of static electricity generated by non-woven fabrics. Non woven fabrics are composed of fibers that become charged during friction, collision, or shearing. Therefore, in order to avoid static electricity generated by non-woven fabrics, we need to control the type and length of fibers. Choosing fibers with low electrical charge, such as cotton, linen, etc., can reduce the generation of static electricity. In addition, controlling the length of fibers is also a key factor in avoiding static electricity. Longer fibers have less electrostatic sensitivity compared to shorter fibers.
Humidity of non-woven fabrics
Secondly, adjusting the humidity of non-woven fabrics is very important. A dry environment helps to accumulate static electricity, so maintaining appropriate humidity can effectively reduce the static sensitivity of non-woven fabrics. By using a humidifier or other humidity adjustment equipment, maintaining a humidity range of 40% to 60% can reduce the static interference on non-woven fabrics. In addition, when handling non-woven fabrics, be careful not to expose them to dry environments, as this helps to reduce the generation of static electricity.
Antistatic agent
In addition, the reasonable use of anti-static agents is also an effective method to avoid the generation of static electricity in non-woven fabrics. An anti-static agent is a chemical substance that can eliminate or reduce static electricity on the surface of an object. Spraying an appropriate amount of anti-static agent on non-woven fabrics during the production process can effectively reduce the generation of static electricity. However, it should be noted that the method and amount of using anti-static agents should be moderate, as excessive use of anti-static agents may have a negative impact on the quality of the product.
Reduce friction
In addition, attention should be paid to reducing friction and collision when handling non-woven fabrics. Friction and collision are one of the main reasons for the generation of static electricity in non-woven fabrics. Therefore, when dealing with non-woven fabrics, some measures need to be taken to reduce friction and collision. For example, using smooth surface equipment for cutting and cutting to avoid static electricity generated by friction. In addition, avoiding excessive stacking and squeezing of non-woven fabrics is also an effective measure to reduce static electricity.
Regular cleaning and maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance of non-woven equipment and environment are also important steps to avoid static electricity generation. Dust and impurities in non-woven equipment and work areas can easily cause static electricity. Therefore, regular cleaning to remove impurities and dust can reduce the accumulation of static electricity. In addition, anti-static tools and cleaning agents can be used during the cleaning process to further reduce the generation of static electricity.
Conclusion
In summary, methods to avoid static electricity from non-woven fabrics and prevent fires include selecting low charged fibers, adjusting humidity, using anti-static agents reasonably, reducing friction and collisions, regularly cleaning and maintaining equipment and the environment, etc. By taking these measures, we can effectively reduce the risk of electrostatic interference on non-woven fabrics and ensure their safe use.
