How to properly maintain anti-static work clothes and extend their service life

Anti-static work clothes rely on metal fiber mesh to absorb and shield electromagnetic waves. Damage and oxidation of the metal mesh will reduce the effect. Proper cleaning and maintenance can extend the use time.

The principle of making anti-static work clothes is to weave metal fibers into fabrics together with fabrics to make clothes. Metal mesh can absorb and shield electromagnetic waves, and the denser the metal mesh is woven, the better. Once the metal mesh structure in the clothes is destroyed when the radiation protection clothing is worn or washed, its effect will be reduced. In addition, we know that metal fibers and silver fibers will have different degrees of oxidation when exposed to the air for a long time, which will also affect their shielding effect. In addition, the effect of anti-static work clothes is closely related to the usual cleaning and maintenance, and proper cleaning and maintenance will also increase the use time. Now, we will teach you some small anti-radiation cleaning tips.

1. It is not recommended to wash the radiation protection clothing frequently, about once every three months. If you are worried that the radiation protection clothing will be stuck with dirt, you can wear a radiation protection clothing jacket; if you are worried about sweat stains, you can wear a base coat inside the radiation protection clothing. In short, try to reduce the frequency of cleaning.

2. The radiation protection clothing is made of special materials, so tap water should not be used for cleaning, but pure water or cold boiled water should be used. Because tap water contains chloride ions, chloride ions will cause damage to silver.

3. It cannot be washed in a washing machine, only by hand. And the water temperature should not be too high when washing, keep it at about 40 degrees. It can be dried directly after washing, without drying or drying. Try to reduce the friction between the fabrics of radiation protective clothing to avoid breaking the metal mesh.

4. It is strictly forbidden to use strong alkali or strong acid laundry detergent for cleaning, bleaching is strictly prohibited, and neutral laundry detergent should be used as much as possible to avoid corrosion of metal fibers.

5. In order to avoid oxidation of electrostatic work clothes in contact with air, it is recommended to seal them with plastic bags when not wearing them.

The above is the technician’s introduction to the shelf life of anti-static work clothes. From this point of view, the cleaning and maintenance of anti-static work clothes are still very important. If they are cleaned and maintained properly, the service life will increase, that is, the shelf life will increase.
