Static electricity troubles polyester and its blends for a long time. Polyester fibers are highly hydrophobic. Their specific resistance is very high (10¹³–10¹⁵ Ω·cm). During processing and use, they easily generate static. This causes fly waste, uneven cutting, and clothes that cling and attract dust. Each year, static brings significant economic loss. That is why Guangzhou Lianzhuang developed TEXNOLOGY®NW16 anti‑static agent for polyester fabrics. It is a non‑ionic anti‑static agent made of modified organic phosphate compounds. It is designed to solve static problems on polyester fabrics.
How static forms on fabrics and the goal of anti‑static treatment
To understand how an anti‑static agent works, you first need to know how static forms. When two different materials rub together, electrons transfer between them. One surface gains positive charge, the other gains negative charge. Polyester fibers have extremely high surface resistance. The charge cannot move away quickly. So static builds up. When the charge reaches a certain level, it releases as sparks. This can cause safety risks in production and discomfort in use.
The core goal of anti‑static finishing is to lower the fiber surface resistance. This helps static charge leak away faster. Today, common anti‑static agents fall into four types: cationic, anionic, non‑ionic, and permanent polymer types. Most anti‑static agents for polyester fabrics are surfactants. Their molecules have a hydrophilic part and a hydrophobic part. During finishing, the hydrophobic part attaches to the fiber surface. The hydrophilic part faces outward. It absorbs moisture from the air. This forms a continuous water layer on the fiber surface. This water layer conducts electricity. It quickly carries away static charge. It also shortens the charge half‑life.
Advantages and applications of Lianzhuang anti‑static agent for polyester fabrics
Lowers static charge and shortens half‑life effectively
This agent greatly reduces static during production, cutting, and sewing of polyester fabrics. It prevents processing problems like fly waste, thread wrapping, and fabric edge clinging. After treatment, finished garments show much less static buildup during wear or display. No more clinging to the body or crackling sounds. This improves the end‑user experience.
Good compatibility, can be used with triple‑proof agents
TEXNOLOGY®NW16 is non‑ionic. This gives it good compatibility. You can use it together with TEXNOLOGY®PA triple‑proof agent for non‑wovens. This gives non‑woven fabrics anti‑static, anti‑alcohol, and anti‑plasma properties.
Minimal effect on hand feel, keeps fabric soft
Many anti‑static agents form a thick coating on the fiber surface. This makes fabrics hard, rough, and less breathable. TEXNOLOGY®NW16 has a light molecular structure. It covers the fiber surface evenly and thinly. After treatment, the fabric feels soft and smooth. It hardly changes the original style and drape of polyester fabrics. This makes it especially suitable for underwear, sportswear, and medical textiles that need a good touch.
Applications:
- Anti‑static finishing on polyester filament, staple fibers, and blends (e.g., T/C, T/R)
- Anti‑static treatment on medical non‑wovens (PP/PE/SMS composites)
- Anti‑static workwear, cleanroom suits, anti‑explosion clothing
- Synthetic sportswear, underwear, home textiles
