Bekinox® electro-conductive fibre based - filament based products for anti-static textile applications

Advantages

  • Superior anti-static properties
  • Prevents charging-up
  • Superior lifetime
  • Superior wash resistance (personal protective clothing)

Product description

Bekaert Bekinox ® stainless steel fibres and yarns are used to safely discharge static electricity which can lead to explosions or damage electronic equipment.
If you rely on anti-static textiles made from Bekaert Bekinox® fibres, filaments and yarns, you prevent the build-up of static electricity and electrostatic discharges.

1.a    Risk management in flammable and explosive atmospheres
In the petrochemical and gas industry, workers are often exposed to explosive and flammable atmospheres. Due to their excellent conductivity, our fibres and yarns take away the ignition source by preventing build up of static electricity.
Personal protective clothing made with Bekaert Bekinox® yarns easily fulfill the international safety norms and are the preferred solution in the market due to their outstanding wash resistance.

1.b    Enhanced safety
Bekaert Bekinox® electro-conductive fibres and yarns in dust removal filters prevent explosions by avoiding electrostatic discharges.

1.c    Reliable under extreme conditions
Bekaert Bekinox® conductive yarns in big bags help to avoid explosions by preventing spark discharges.

1.d    Extra comfort and seamless performance
Bekaert Bekinox® stainless steel fibres in floor coverings provide comfort and protect electronic apparatus against defects caused by electrostatic discharge.

1.e    Ongoing effectiveness
Anti-static brushes made of Bekaert Bekinox® continuous filament yarns are mounted in fax machines, copiers, high-speed printers. They prevent malfunctioning due to static electricity.

Situation

Ultra-strong and length-stable material is needed to reinforce synchronous belts which drive wind turbine blades.

Solution

A high-quality steel cord comprised of 83 twisted wires.

Result

Optimum tensile strength, length stability and adhesion with the rubber belt providing the wind turbine manufacturer with a substantially lighter, maintenance-free and space-saving solution.
