Will the antistatic effect of Anti Static PET Yarn Grey Color be affected in high temperature or humid environment?

2025-07-11

The antistatic performance of Anti Static PET Yarn Grey Color mainly depends on its special conductive ingredients, such as carbon-based materials, metal oxides or permanent antistatic agents. These ingredients can effectively inhibit static electricity accumulation by reducing the resistance value of the fiber, so that the static charge can be quickly dissipated.

The stability of the antistatic effect of the product in high temperature or humid environment depends on its material structure and the type of antistatic agent. The following is a detailed analysis of its impact from two aspects: high temperature and humid environment.

The performance of Anti Static PET Yarn Grey Color in high temperature environment mainly depends on the heat resistance of PET material and the stability of the antistatic technology used. The melting point of PET fiber itself is about 250°C, and short-term exposure to high temperature environment below 150°C usually does not cause obvious fiber degradation.

If the product uses permanent conductive materials, such as carbon black or metal compounds, its antistatic performance is still relatively stable at high temperature, because these materials themselves have high heat resistance and are not easy to fail due to temperature increase.

However, if the antistatic function relies on surface-coated antistatic agents, long-term high temperature exposure may cause the coating to volatilize or decompose, thereby reducing the antistatic effect. Within the normal use temperature range, the antistatic performance of this product is basically unaffected.

However, under extremely high temperature or long-term heat aging conditions, PET fibers may oxidize and the conductive network may be destroyed, resulting in a gradual decrease in antistatic performance. Therefore, this product is suitable for most industrial applications, but its long-term durability should be carefully evaluated under extremely high temperature conditions.

The effect of humid environments on Anti Static PET Yarn Grey Color is relatively small, mainly due to its low humidity-dependent antistatic mechanism. Traditional antistatic fibers usually rely on ambient humidity to work because hydrophilic antistatic agents need to absorb moisture to form a conductive path.

However, Anti Static PET Yarn Grey Color uses conductive fillers, which directly form a conductive network inside or on the surface of the fiber and do not rely on ambient humidity to maintain antistatic performance.

In a high humidity environment, ordinary antistatic fibers may have too low resistance values ​​due to excessive moisture absorption, and even affect the mechanical properties of the fiber. However, due to the low humidity dependence technology, the resistance value of anti-static PET yarn gray can still remain stable and will not fluctuate significantly due to changes in ambient humidity. In addition, PET fiber itself has excellent water resistance, and short-term humid environment will not affect its anti-static effect.

However, under the combined effects of long-term humidity and high temperature, some conductive components may oxidize, slightly reducing their durability. Despite this, the product can still maintain reliable anti-static performance in conventional humid environments, and is suitable for application scenarios that are sensitive to humidity changes, such as electronic clean rooms and medical protection.
