ANTISTATIC & MANIFOLD

In many workplaces, both, people and sensible techniques shall be protected against electrostatic discharge. Dungarees made of Startec-fabric by Lauffenmühle are offering this protection. With Startec, developed by Lauffenmühle, there are two antistatic types, each of them with different complementary use.

STARTEC & EXPLOSION-PROOF

Startec-fabrics consist of a polyester-cotton-blend, which offer an extremely law surface resistance by the interwoven metallic yarn grid. Startec offers an overall protection where there is a risk of explosion by gas development and an intrinsically safe environment shall be produced, e.g. when working in the area of pumping stations or cleaning oil tanks.

STARTEC CARBON & PROTECTION AGAINST SHORT CIRCUITS

The polyester-cotton-blend of this fabric being pervaded by a carbonic grid in order to exclude the risk of short circuit within sensible application fields by loosened metal fibres. This is a very important requirement to be met e.g. in electric industry, in particular where working with very sensible electronic components.

QUALITY & NORMS

Startec-fabrics of Lauffenmühle comply with the requirements of EN 1149 and the Norm IEC 61340-5-1 concerning ESD-protective cloths. They protect from damages to human life and material by a proven antistatic effect. E-Care fabrics are certified by independent tests showing a superexcellent screening ability : In case of a tension of 500MHz, the screening effect shown is abt. 25dB, in case of tension of 3GHz, the screening effect shown is abt. 15dB.

COMFORTABILITY & LONG LIFE

The union fabric from polyester and cotton with interwoven grids of electrically conductor yarns is promising not only for protection, but offers a high level of wearing comfort. The fabric is low-maintenance and – due to polyester-component – the cloth is maintaining its top-form even after the 50th industrial washing, too.
