What is static electricity ?
- To many people, static electricity is little more than the shock experienced when touching a metal doorknob after sliding across a car seat or walking a carpeted room.
- Is caused by rubbing of 2 different materials (TRIBO-Series)
- Some materials want to give away electrons and other materials want to receive materials = TRIBO-CHARGING
- ESD or Electro-Static Discharge is the transfer of charge from one object to another, which results in an electrical current.
• example : person walking over carpet can generate up to 30000 V

Charge transfer by induction
- When a non charged earthed conductor is brought into the electric field of a charged object, the electrons rearrange and the charge leaks away to the ground = INDUCTION

• Getting a dangerous electric shock• Fire and/or fall-out of electric installations after lightning stroke
As a thunderstorm grows, electrical charges build up within the cloud. Oppositely charged particles gather at the ground below. The attraction between positive and negative charges quickly grows strong enough to overcome the air's resistance to electrical flow. Racing toward each other, they connect and complete the electrical circuit. Charge from the ground then surges upward at nearly one-third the speed of light and we see a bright flash of lightning .
Discomforts and risks

ESD garments for electronic assembly industry
Charged garments can damage micro-electronic components without touching (induction)
- All accumulated charge needs to be led away
- Seems need to be conductive
- Earthing of garment and person is required
This will avoid damage by induction charge

How to solve?
1. Conductive Yarn : use conductive fibres or filaments to allow transport of electrostatic charge through the yarn
2. Conductive Fabric : use a grid of conductive yarns
3. Conductive garment : sew each part together with conductive sewing threads
4. Wear Conductive Socks and Shoes to make connection to earth

How are conductive yarns made?
- Spun Yarns : an amount (1%-20%) of Bekinox® Stainless Steel Fibres can be blended during the spinning process with all kind of fibres: PES, PP, PA, Co, Wool, Nomex®, Kermel®…
• 1 – 2% : blended throughout the whole fabric
• 20 % : conductive yarns in grid
- Multifilament yarns (clean room) : PES or PA multifilament yarns twisted with a Bekinox® Stainless steel monofilament
- Result: fabric with a resistance of 105 – 106 Ohm

24
- Natural resistance to TRIBO-charging
• e.g. Cotton is better then PES because it absorbs more water
- Charge accumulation should be avoided to avoid induction
- Immediate discharge in earthed condition
- Conductivity should remain even after frequent washings (laundry service, > 50 cycles)
ESD garments must fulfill following requirements

New method for Core Conductors : EN1149-3
- Due to their insulating outer layer, Core Conductors, e.g. Negastat®, Nomex P140®, cannot be measured according to EN1149-1
- EN1149-3 has been developed to measure both Surface and Core conductors
- Bekinox ® can be certified according to EN1149-1 and EN1149-3

30
Earthing yes or no?
- Described in EN1149-5
- If people are insulated from earth, there is a serious risk, due to accumulated electrostatic charge, that sparks from the people themselves can ignite a flammable or explosive atmosphere
When not earthed, no matter what type of garment the worker is wearing, the human body can still produce ignitions

31
Tests have proven that
- Garments with Bekinox fulfill all these conditions• Immediate discharge in earthed condition
• No rest charge
• Characteristics remain even after 200 industrial washings
- Garments with Core conductors e.g. Negastat (By Barnett)• The person can be earthed, but the garment not because of insulating outer layer
• Charge up easily, even in earthed conditions
• Discharge time can take several minutes
- Garments with carbon-suffused monofilaments e.g. Re sistat (By Shakespeare)• Have less good washing characteristics (only 1 µm carbon on PA6 core)
• Are a lot less conductive then metal fibres; more needs to be added to have the same result

34
Test Results Core Conductor Fabric
- Even in earthed conditions there is still a rest charge
- Reason: a rest charge remains on the fabric big enough to cause a serious discharge or charge induction
- The same test has been done with Bekinox® but without discharge
- Bekinox® passes the test successfully because no rest charge
Core conductors should not be used
in ESD protected environment (EPA)!

36
Conclusions
- People wearing electrostatic dissipative clothing, always need to be properly earthed to avoid discharge from human body
- With Bekinox® no rest charge, Core Conductors discharge slowly (rest charge present)
- Garments with Bekinox remain conductive after > 50 laundry cycles
- garments containing core conductors should be avoided in electronic assembly industry because of risk for induction charging
Result : Bekinox ® is The Safest Solution
