Toray develops new antistatic yarn
Toray Synthetic Textile Cluster has developed Super “Parel”, a polyester lining with high antistatic properties even under low-temperature, low-humidity conditions where static electricity is often prevalent.
Existing antistatic materials, though effective at 20ºC with a relative humidity of 40%—the standard set by Japan Industrial Standards—generally do not display antistatic properties at much lower temperatures and humidity levels. However, according to the company, Super “Parel” maintains a high level of antistatic qualities even under the much harsher conditions of 10ºC and relative humidity of 10%.
