Yarn blended with Bekinox® (Bekaert) steel fibers. Due to the presence of steel fibers in the yarn, it has electrically conductive properties. Textile fabrics made using this yarn are characterized by a specific surface electrical resistance of less than 107 Ohm, that is, they belong to materials that dissipate electrical charges. Fabrics and knitted fabrics containing steel fibers can be used to create special protective clothing for employees of oil and gas processing enterprises, gas stations and other enterprises where there is a high risk of sparks due to the accumulation of a static charge on the clothes of workers. Also, canvases can be used in the manufacture of everyday clothing in order to provide increased comfort. The technology for the production of yarn with the insertion of Bekinox® fibers was developed jointly with the specialists of JSC "Gronitex"
Yarn with the addition of steel fibers produced by JSC "Gronitex" is not inferior in its mechanical and electrical properties to foreign analogs, while having a 1.5-2.5 times lower cost. Products with its use have high hygienic properties due to the high content of cotton fibers.
