| What is Nega-Stat®
..... |
|
| Nega-Stat®
by Barnet is a fine filament bi-component yarn.
Each filament has a unique, patented, trilobally
shaped carbon conducting core that is surrounded
by a sheath of polyester. |
|
| What does Nega-Stat®
do ..... |
|
| Nega-Stat®
by Barnet provides optimum antistatic protection
in grounded and ungrounded applications according
to end-use specifications. |
|
| Nega-Stat® is
unique..... |
|
| The outstanding
static dissipative performance of Nega-Stat®
is provided by the unique trilobal conducting core.
The outer sheath of polyester provides exceptional
durability to wear, washing sterilization and chemical
attack. |
|
| Where is Nega-Stat®
used ..... |
|
| Because of
its unique core construction Nega-Stat® is
used in a wide range of industrial applications
in both grounded and ungrounded situations. |
|
| How is Nega-Stat®
available ..... |

| How is Nega-Stat®
used ..... |
|
| Nega-Stat®
is introduced selectively in grid or stripe patterns
in non-conductive materials to provide effective
static dissipation for the life of the product. |
|
| How does Nega-Stat®
work ..... |
|
| The unique
trilobal conducting core of Nega-Stat® neutralizes
the surface charges on the base material by induction
and dissipates the charge by conduction when grounded
or when ungrounded by air ionisation, called Corona-discharge. |
|
| In brief ..... |
|
Whilst other conducting threads work by conducting
electric charges along the surface, Nega-Stat®
works by inducing charges into its unique trilobal
carbon core.
The unique trilobal carbon core in Nega-Stat®
acts much like a lightning conductor attracting
the charge into the core.
The trilobal carbon core produces a "field shielding"
effect causing residual charges on the surface
by the Nega-Stat® thread.
|
|
| Grounded or ungrounded
..... |
|
Materials
containing Nega-Stat® threads do not necessarily
require full grounding to be effective.
Nega-Stat® can therefore be used in a wide
range of industrial applications where full grounding
is not possible or impracticable. |
