Surface Resistivity

Electrical resistivity influences the accumulation of electrostatic charge n a fabric. Specimens conditioned at 50% relative humidity and 70°F are tested for resistance to the passage of electrical current. The surface resistivity should be less than 10¹¹ohms.

Voltage Decay Test

Using a standard test procedure to apply positive and negative 5000-volt charges to fabric samples, the time required for a specimen to drop to 10% of charge potential and for complete dissipation of the charge is measured. When grounded, the shorter the time to zero voltage, the better a material's ability to dissipate a charge induced on the surface.

Test Results

Description Surface Voltage Decay Resistivity Time (sec. ohms/unit sq.) to <10% Orig.

• Unlaundered: 2.6 x 10⁶ < 0.01 seconds
• 25 Launderings: 4.7 x 10⁸ < 0.01 seconds
• 50 Launderings: 4.8 x 10⁹ < 0.01 seconds

Laundry Instructions

Wash in cool or cold water, hang dry or dry at 120°F or less. Do not bleach. The carbon-suffused monofilament nylon is sensitive to heat and should not be exposed to laundering heat more than 120°F. Wash at 90°F (Maximum) and tumble dry at low heat or hang dry.
