Clacarbo from Kuraray
Prevents
static electricity charge.
Static electricity elimination materials for safety and comfort in working
environment.

|
Hazardous accidents may occur in any production
site. Electro static charge build-up is one of such causes of
hazardous accidents in many industries. For example: explosion
ignited by discharge, deteriorated productivity, inferior
quality by malfunctioning of system, contamination and etc. |
Kuraray developed Clacarbo, an
electro-conductive fiber containing carbon, just when static
electricity had been acknowledged hazardous problems to various
industries. It is basically polyester filament having a special
structure containing electro-conductive carbon. This anti-static
material with suitable structure and function conforms to the
static electricity safety guide of the Ministry of Labor:
RIIS-TR-78-1.
Application field：
petroleum refining , oil tankers, gas stations, thermal power
plant, manufacturing sites of solvent, painting, coal mining
industry, semi-conductor, etc.
How static
elimination can be made
Static charge generated on a garment can be eliminated by corona
discharge through Clacarbo. This function is hardly influenced by the
material of underwear worn. |
|
| |
|
Because static charge elimination proceeds by corona discharge, the
anti-static function can be maintained unaffected even under low
humidity environment in which more static charge accumulation is
generated. |
 |
| |
|
Clacarbo has excellent durability standing with repeated washings as
well as chemical resistance and resistance to the sunlight.
Three types of
materials preventing static electricity.
For the safe working environment
- Corona discharge by Clacarbo BLK is combined with the
leakage current discharge effect.
- The unique cross section realizes high durability of
anti-static performance.
|
|
|
|
- Because of polyester base, it's easy to treat and can
be applied for various uses.
- The charge elimination effect remains unaffected under
low humidity.
- Owing to four carbon cores, it has high anti-static
effect and high durability.
|
|
|
|
- This electro-conductive fiber is consisted of three
layers: the innermost is polymer containing carbon,
in-between is lightly-shaded polymer and outside is
regular polyester.
- It looks like regular polyester even in light weight
fabric.
