Electrical resistance of Epitropic
fibre is 10 – 100 Megohms/cm
Approximately 1% Epitropic fibre
prevents discomfort from static in everyday clothing and carpets
2 – 5% Epitropic fibre is
necessary in fabrics for industrial filters and safety workwear
Resistivity is approximately 1
– 100 Megohms/sq but is dependent on the fabric and its construction
RESISTANCE
OF EPITROPIC FIBRE TO CHEMICAL AGENTS
Acids
Except under the most extreme conditions the rate of
acid hydrolysis is very slow and good resistance to the majority of
mineral and organic acids can be expected.
Alkalis
Aqueous
alkalis except ammonia and its derivatives cause progressive solution
of the fibre. Ammonia, quaternary bases, Amines etc degrade the fibre
without dissolving it. Maximum level recommended is pH 10.
Oxidising
Agents
Epitropic fibre has excellent resistance to oxidising
agents and withstands bleaching processes.
Reducing
Agents
Epitropic fibre has excellent resistance to reducing
agents
Water
/ Steam
Good
Long
term exposure
to dry heat
Excellent
