Many industries rely on the unique environments that only a cleanroom can provide. The combination of possible contamination and uncontrolled static build-up is a genuine problem for many delicate manufacturing and testing processes. For example, cleanrooms are an essential part of most electronic manufacturing because of the static control it provides. But how do cleanrooms manage to achieve this...
Static electricity will always be generated during textile manufacturing due to the nature of the industry. In addition, the industry’s growing use of artificial fibres has increased the problem of static electricity. This build-up of static is unfortunately unavoidable, but it can be controlled with the application of effective anti-static products. What is Static Electricity? The basics of static electricity are...
Static electricity is problematic in many workplace settings under any conditions, but it is also essential to understand how changes in the weather can impact the prevalence of static electricity.
