using nega-stat® anti-static yarns
Car body shops

how nega-stat® is used in optimized cleanroom apparel for car body shops

Car body shop entrances are maintained under positive pressure to prevent airborne contaminants from entering and settling on vehicle surfaces. Any particulate deposits on the car body can necessitate additional cleaning or even a respray, increasing time and costs.

Wearing the appropriate protective garments significantly reduces particle deposition. The most effective solution is lint-free polyester fabrics, which, depending on their design, can minimize particle transfer by up to 20 times compared to garments made from cotton or cotton blends.

However, polyester garments present two key challenges:

  • Comfort: Polyester-based barrier fabrics can be hot and uncomfortable, sometimes requiring workers to change garments as frequently as every hour in extreme conditions.
  • Static Charge: Polyester fabrics generate high levels of static electricity, which can attract airborne particles to the garment, increasing the risk of contamination. To mitigate this, such fabrics must incorporate conductive threads to prevent electrostatic attraction and particle transfer to the car body.

A major challenge with traditional antistatic garments is that their performance is fully effective only when both the garment and wearer are properly grounded – which is not always feasible within a car manufacturing facility.

nega-stat® Conductive Threads: Advanced Antistatic Protection

nega-stat® conductive threads feature a unique trilobal carbon core encased in a polyester sheath, offering exceptional and reliable antistatic performance. Unlike conventional antistatic fabrics, this innovative structure ensures consistent static dissipation and effective particle control even when full grounding is not possible.

By incorporating nega-stat® technology into protective apparel, car body shop workers benefit from enhanced comfort and superior electrostatic control, reducing contamination risks and improving overall production quality.

When standards fall short

Real-world safety beyond norms

Many safety standards for protective clothing, flooring, and other equipment are built upon a system of interconnected safety guidelines. This is the theory …

However, the reality of the workplace often diverges significantly, leading to safety gaps that existing standards cannot address. It is this very discrepancy that led to the development of nega-stat® P190. This product is designed for situations where the ideal conditions of a laboratory environment contrast sharply with the realities of the workplace. In these real-world scenarios, practical safety takes precedence over theoretical assumptions, helping to bridge genuine safety gaps.

nega-stat® is the only antistatic yarn globally that minimizes the risk of static charge in both earthed and unearthed conditions to such an extent that no damage can occur.
