Stainless steel is well-known for its electrical conductive properties as well as for its optimal thermal behaviour (resists to very high temperatures).
R.STAT/S fibres should be blended at a low rate that will be determined according to the construction of the textile material, according to its conditions of process and use and to the degree of static protection level expected.
When an antistatic/conductive continuous yarn is used, the rate of introduction is of less importance than the way the antistatic/conductive yarn is introduced.
For thermal application, stainless steel is used in pure (glass industry) or blended with other heat resistant fibres (meta-aramid, Kermel, …). .

These examples are not exhaustive. Do not hesitate to inquire about your project and we'll find for you the most suitable solution.
Textile material including a suitable content of R.STAT/S fibres can pass the following norms:
- EN 1149 parties 1 (surface resistivity) and 2 (cross resistance): electrostatic properties for protective clothing.
- DIN 54345 :
electrostatic properties of textiles (floorings, nonwovens, fabrics), included part 5 (electrostatic properties of nonwovens for filter media).
These values are non-contractual and just indicative. We reserve the right to complement or amend them. More information, based on assimilated experience, is available on request.
The given examples are only guidelines for you to design your own products. Information will be given on the basis of your own specifications that must have been supplied to R.STAT and is not a guarantee by R.STAT. Control, certification and validation of products (under their final commercial form and under real conditions of use) including R.STAT's technology lies with every user of R.STAT products.
