An antistatic finish reduces the build-up of static electricity, which makes fabric cling to the body or attract lint and dust. It is most useful on polyester and synthetic blends, especially in dry air. It works by raising surface moisture or conductivity with hydrophilic agents that wash out gradually. For a lasting effect, yarns with conductive fibre are used. In uniforms and underwear, a fabric with cotton or viscose naturally has less static. Ask for a surface resistance or charge decay test.
