using nega-stat® anti-static yarns
Gas and oil Industry

why nega-stat® is used in gas and oil industry

Flame retardant garments are worn for personal protection against incendiary discharges in hazardous environments. Both the garment and the wearer can potentially trigger a static electrical discharge, which could lead to an explosion.

CE-marked garments made from fabric that complies with EN 1149-5 standards will not generate an incendiary discharge, provided that both the wearer and the garment are fully grounded.

However, in a typical workplace, achieving complete grounding at all times is often not feasible. In situations where grounding is partial or absent, garments that meet these standards may still produce a static incendiary discharge.

Safety garments containing nega-stat® P190 are unique in that they provide protection against incendiary discharges, even when the garment is partially or completely ungrounded. These garments maintain their protective performance under such conditions and prevent incendiary discharges directly from the fabric.

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.

Challenges and solutions

Problems solved with nega-stat®

Risk of explosions
Risk of damage caused by static discharge
Safety gaps despite extensive standards

Static electricity builds up on the body and clothing, potentially creating hazardous situations, especially in environments with flammable substances. nega-stat® P190 in workwear prevents static discharge, even without full grounding. It ensures safe corona discharge into the air, closing a critical safety gap.

Static discharge can damage electronics. nega-stat® P190 minimizes static and ensures safety, even without grounding.

Many safety standards ignore real industry conditions. nega-stat® ensures safety when grounding isn’t guaranteed.
