How to avoid Static Electricity Shocks in Cold, Dry Weather?

The weather of winter in some areas is so dry that everything one touch gives a shock. What can we do to avoid constant static electricity problems in the house?

In the winter it feels like everything you touch shocks you,and first thing in the morning it can be quite a jolt to the system.Luckily,there are a few things you can do to minimize all of that.

Common Culprits of Static Shock

One of the easiest ways to avoid static shock is to pay attention to what you're wearing and what kind of fabrics make up the furniture in your house. For example, Electrostatics.net notes that rubber-soled shoes are great insulators, and will build up a lot of static in your body when combined with a wool or nylon carpet. Instead, try walking around in leather soled shoes, or cotton socks instead of wool socks. Leather soled shoes are also great for grocery shopping, since shopping carts can often cause lots of static electricity.

Similarly, wool sweaters are common offenders, especially in the dry winter (when you usually wear them). If you sit in a chair made out of the right fabric, you'll build up quite a bit of static. Again, cotton is going to be much more friendly, so try wearing cotton clothes when you want to avoid nasty shocks. Certain furniture covers or antistatic sprays can help alleviate this problem, too.

You may have also noticed that often, when you get out of your car, you get a shock when you touch the door. You might have even heard that touching the door frame as you get out of the car can help, and that's true. Make sure you start holding the metal frame before you get out of the car, and you keep touching it until you're out of the seat completely. If you forget to do this, you can also touch the car door with your keys. Since the electricity will discharge through them, you won't feel a shock.

De-Static Your Home with a Humidifier

The tips above will work when you're out and about, but when you're in your own home, there are a few other things that ensure you can wear those rubber-soled shoes and wool sweaters when you want to. A humidifier can make the air a bit less dry, and thus lower the possibility of you getting shocks at home. Generally, you want to keep it above 30% relative humidity, though 40% or 50% would be even better. We've talked before about picking the perfect humidifier for your home (which has many other benefits), and if you want to keep an eye on the relative humidity, you can pick up a cheap hydrometer from most garden stores. It'll really make a world of difference.

That may seem long-winded for a discussion of static shocks, but when you're struggling through those harse winter months, those shocks start getting really irritating day in and day out, and just a few simple tricks can help you eliminate that household annoyance. 

4 steps to specify reliable flame resistant workwear

Every day, workers in electrical maintenance,utility, oil and gas, petrochemical and steel

industries work in hazardous environments.Unexpected and highly dangerous arc flash and flash fire events can occur without warningand may result in severe or fatal burn injuries.Thus,we need reliable flame resistant workwear to protect workers from being injured.Here are 4 steps to specify reliable FR workwear.

1.Research environmental risks

Gain a deep understanding of your work environment and thespecific issues that impact worker safety. Begin with identifyingthe risks at hand, such as arc flash risks versus flash fires, as theapparel needs are different.The standards for which you are specifying fabrics must apply toyour individual work environment. For example, FR fabrics that meet PPE Category 2 are irrelevant in the oil and gas industries, as the arc rating standard addresses electrical arc flash, not flash fire hazards.External factors, such as weather, should also be considered. The fabric and fabric system needs in diverse climates can be very different. Cold, northern climates may need insulated products for their daily work where southern climates may dictate a single layer. 

2.Evaluate fabric options

When evaluating viable options for AR/FR fabric, don’t settle for minimum compliance. Instead, know the exact rating of each fabric. Also, consider a wear trial to assess comfort and wearability so you know firsthand that employees will be able to work effectively and comfortably.

3.Understand the fabric's performance

There is a vast disparity between products that comply with NFPA 2112 and NFPA 70E. Compliance is a starting point, then individual fabric performance should be evaluated to help ensure you are adequately protecting workers. 

4.Specify fabric by brand name

Brand name FR textiles carry a trusted reputation because they have been market proven to protect workers. Brand name reputations also help you know exactly what you are purchasing. Not all FR fabrics or constructions — such as 88/12 fiber blends — are the same. There are significant differences in how similar fabrics with similar fiber constructions perform. Rely on proven brand name reputations to gauge the effectiveness of FR performance, backed up with third-party certification.

Our CFR265 Pyrovatex has been certified by BTTG

Not long ago,Our department of development invented a new item. 100% cotton flame retardant antistatic woven fabric which is treated by Pyrovatex created by Huntsman.

This fabric uses ringing spun yarn which quality is very good as greige cloth.In the dyeing process,we use vat dyestuff to make the fabric color fastness have higher grade.For the FR performance,we import Pyrovatex flame retardants which is produced by Huntsman. Compared with Proban or THPC,fabric treated by Pyrovatex or CP has better color fastness and handfeel more comfortable. The fabric can pass EN11611,EN11612,EN14116,EN61482-1-2,EN1149,NFPA2112,etc.

This time when we complete the new product,we sent a piece of sample to BTTG to test the flame retardant performance and antistatic feature. BTTG is a wolrd famous organization focused on test and certification of textiles.

After half a month,good news comes. The 100% cotton CP flame retardant fabric has successfully passed EN11612 and EN1149-3 standard. It proves that our FR fabric quality is certified by European Union Standard and can be widely used as FR clothing for workers in various industries.

As a leading supplier of flame retardant fabrics,Xinxiang Zhuocheng Special Textile Co., Ltd will continue to develop high quality products and provide better protection for global workers!
