using nega-stat® anti-static yarns
Pain relief

the role of nega-stat® P190 in TENS

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a widely used, non-invasive pain relief method that works by delivering mild, intermittent electrical currents through the skin to stimulate nerves. This technique has been found effective for many individuals, helping to reduce pain and discomfort associated with conditions such as chronic pain, muscle soreness, arthritis, and post-surgical recovery.

To enhance the effectiveness and safety of TENS therapy, nega-stat® P190 is integrated into specialized fabrics used in TENS electrode garments. The conductive properties of nega-stat® P190 ensure optimal electrical transmission, allowing for even and consistent stimulation across the treatment area. This results in improved nerve activation, leading to better pain relief outcomes.

Additionally, by incorporating nega-stat® P190, these fabrics help to minimize static buildup and maintain patient comfort during therapy sessions. This is particularly important for individuals requiring long-term or frequent TENS treatment, as the right fabric can enhance the overall experience and effectiveness of the therapy.

By utilizing advanced conductive textiles like those containing nega-stat® P190, TENS therapy becomes more efficient, reliable, and accessible, providing patients with a safe and effective alternative to pharmaceutical pain management and invasive procedures.

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.

If you need further information, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Which counts are available?

nega-stat® is available in various counts to meet different application requirements. The nega-stat® P210 series includes 28 dtex f 3, 56 dtex f 6, and 112 dtex f 24, while nega-stat® P190 is available in 39 dtex f 6, 78 dtex f 12, and 156 dtex f 24. The nega-stat® DP 40 variant comes in 20 dtex f 4. Additionally, white and dyeable nega-stat® options are offered in 28 dtex f 3 and 28 dtex f 4.

Is there a recycling version of nega-stat®?

nega-stat® is available in a recycled version where the conducting carbon core is embedded into a recycled PES sheath.

Which norms does nega-stat® fulfill?

Fabrics and garments containing nega-stat® will perform to all international standards and relevant antistatic norms such as EN 61340, EN 1149/5 and JIS 1094.

How does nega-stat® perform in wash and wear?

The outer PES sheath of nega-stat® provides exceptional durability to wear, washing, sterilization and chemical attack.

Has nega-stat® to be grounded?

No. Usually any fabric/garment containing an antistatic component has to be fully grounded at any time. In areas where a full grounding will be not possible or not practicable fabrics and garments containing the core conductor nega-stat® P190 will provide full antistatic protection.

How is nega-stat® yarn designed?

nega-stat® contains a carbon conducting core which is embedded into a PES sheath.

Is nega-stat® recyclable?

Fabrics containing nega-stat® can be mechanically recycled or if the base material is PES and contains nega-stat® such a material can be remelted.

Is nega-stat® dyeable?

Yes. Aside the black non dyeable qualities nega-stat® P190, P210 and DP40, we are in the position to provide a range of white disperse dyeable as well as white cationic dyeable solutions.

How does nega-stat® P190 work?

Under full grounding conditions fabrics containing nega-stat® P190 operate by 2 main mechanisms – induction and conduction.

Where full grounding is not possible the unique trilobal core induces a corona discharge.

Where is nega-stat® used?

nega-stat® antistatic fibers are used across various industries to enhance safety and prevent electrostatic discharge. In workwear, they provide protection in gas and oil, automotive, firefighting, police, and military sectors. Industrial applications include conveyor belts, filtration, ropes, harnesses, seating, hoses, and copier brushes.

In clean areas such as cleanrooms, car bodyshops, and battery cell production, nega-stat® helps maintain product integrity. It is also used in floor coverings, medical garments, and health applications, including asthma protection, pain relief, and sports performance. With its versatility, nega-stat® improves safety, hygiene, and comfort across multiple fields.

What is the difference between nega-stat® P190 and nega-stat® P210?

nega-stat® P190 and P210 contain a unique trilobal carbon conducting core embedded into a PES sheath.

  • For nega-stat® P210, the three lobes of the unique trilobal conducting core are surface conducting – they get to the surface of each single filament at three very defined areas.
  • The unique trilobal conducting carbon core of nega-stat® P190 is fully surrounded by a PES sheath and no carbon is getting to the surface.

How is nega-stat® introduced into the base fabric?

Depending on the final application nega-stat® is introduced into the fabric in defined grids or stripes.

Is nega-stat® sustainable?

Yes. Fabrics and garments containing nega-stat® P190 or P210 can be fully recycled.
