Static electricity is a hidden risk in industrial workplaces, especially in oil & gas, chemical plants, and manufacturing facilities. Choosing the right anti-static fabric is essential for preventing sparks, reducing ignition risk, and ensuring compliance with safety standards such as EN 1149-5.
This guide highlights the top-performing anti-static fabrics used in today's professional workwear.
Cotton blended with conductive fibers offers an excellent balance of comfort, breathability, and protection.
Why it's popular:
Soft and comfortable for long shifts
Durable enough for daily industrial use
Meets global anti-static standards
Ideal for: coveralls, shirts, and multi-risk garments.
These fabrics integrate carbon or conductive yarns, ensuring consistent static dissipation.
Key advantages:
Strong anti-static performance
High durability and color retention
Lightweight and easy to maintain
Commonly used in electronics, cleanrooms, and chemical environments.
These are engineered with permanent anti-static properties, meaning the protection will not wash out over time.
Benefits:
Long-lasting protection
Stable performance after repeated washing
Often combined with FR or ARC protection
Perfect for high-risk and long-term industrial applications.
Modern workplaces often require dual or triple protection. Many fabrics now combine anti-static, flame-resistant, and arc-flash resistance in one solution.
Why workers need them:
Prevent static discharge
Resist flames and prevent secondary ignition
Provide arc-flash protection where required
Ideal for oil & gas, utilities, petrochemical, and refineries.
Choosing the right anti-static fabric ensures safety, compliance, and comfort for workers in hazardous environments. DOMEX SAFETY provides certified, high-performance fabrics and garments engineered for today's demanding industries.
