What Is Conductive Yarn?
Conductive yarn is made by blending a certain proportion of stainless steel fiber or other conductive fiber with ordinary fiber. Conductive yarn can make the static electricity accumulated on the human body disappear quickly, so in the past it is usually used to make antistatic coverall. At present, the most popular conductive yarns are silver-plated conductive yarn and Thunderon conductive yarn.
Its biggest advantage is that it has dyeability, strong strength (can be used alone) and high cost performance. It has wide application. In industrial field, it is applied in the industry of semiconductor, petrochemical engineering, electronics, medicine and life science and technology, etc. In the field of life, it is used to make sportswear, casual wear, fine suit lining cloth, baby product, maternity product, underwear and pajamas, etc. The conductive yarn has a good effect on improving the quality of industrial production and people’s life quality.
Military Applications of Conductive Yarn
At the very beginning, conductive yarn is mainly for military use, as high precision machining of weapons and nuclear radiation protection, etc. Nowadays, conductive yarn still plays an indispensable part in military equipment. For example, the British army’s new type intelligent clothing is directly weaved by conductive yarn, which replaces the previously carried bulky batteries.
The fiber of new type intelligent clothing is not afraid of breaking. After it is damaged, it can re-establish a new connection. Conductive yarn is found in vest, shirt, backpack, gloves and even helmet. The conductive yarn is worn on the body to provide a single and centralized power source for soldiers to charge their equipment.
People’s Livelihood Use of Conductive Yarn
1.Touch screen gloves
In recent years, with the popularity of capacitive touch screen electronic products, the industry of touch screen gloves has also emerged. Conductive yarn is the most important material for making touch screen gloves. Thunderon conductive yarn is popular in the field of touch-screen gloves because of its good effects of electricity removal, antibacterial, odor prevention, heat storage, electromagnetic absorption and intelligent heating.
2.Exothermic knitted clothing
Exothermic knitted clothing is to combine the conductive yarn with the knitting technology of one molding. Under the special structure and density of the knitted fabric, the resistance of fabric can be calculated by analyzing the formula and the fabric can be set different temperatures, also can be set at several different place and different area at the same time.
