What kind of clothes are likely to generate static electricity? Scientific analysis and coping methods

With the arrival of autumn and winter, static electricity problems have become a problem for many people. Especially when putting on and taking off clothes, the crackling static electricity is not only uncomfortable but may also cause embarrassment. So, which clothes are more likely to generate static electricity? How to effectively avoid it? This article will give you detailed answers based on the popular discussions on the Internet in the past 10 days.

1. Why do clothes generate static electricity?

Static electricity is caused by the imbalance of electron transfer when clothes of different materials are rubbed. In a dry environment, the stronger the insulation of the fiber, the more obvious the accumulation of static electricity. The following is a comparison of the charging characteristics of common clothing materials:

2. Top 5 clothes that generate high levels of static electricity

According to recent hot discussions on social media and consumer feedback on e-commerce platforms, the following five types of clothing have the most complaints about static electricity:

3. Practical anti-static skills

1.Material matching method: Wearing cotton clothing as the inner layer as an isolation layer, and matching the outer layer with a chemical fiber jacket can reduce static electricity by more than 60% (data source: Zhihu Laboratory).

2.humidity regulation method: Keep the indoor humidity between 40% and 60%. The recent popular Douyin #humidifier evaluation # shows that ultrasonic humidifier can reduce the incidence of static electricity by 78%.

3.laundry treatment:

• Add softener when washing (weibo hot search #softener usage# read 230 million times)
• Rub the surface of clothing with a metal hanger before wearing it
• Use anti-static spray (recommended by Xiaohongshu)

4.Body conduction potential: The latest video from the popular science UP host at Station B suggests holding the key to discharge before touching the metal door handle to avoid the embarrassment of "electric shock".

4. Recommendations for new anti-static products in 2023

Combined with Taobao and Tmall Double 11 pre-sales data, the recent sales of these anti-static items have skyrocketed:

5. Expert advice

Experts from the China Textile and Apparel Association pointed out in a recent interview: "Choosing blended fabrics containing conductive fibers (such as carbon fiber, metal wire) is the fundamental solution. The new national standard in 2023 requires that antistatic agents must be added to infant clothing, and adult clothing will gradually follow suit."

From the above analysis, we can see that although static electricity problems are annoying, they are preventable and controllable. Remember this jingle: "Chemical fiber clothes are prone to discharge. Cotton and linen inner layers are the first choice. Carry moisturizing spray with you. Metal contact will discharge first.", you can easily cope with the static electricity season in autumn and winter.
