Anti-Static Finish Specification Targets for Buyers
Setting Anti-Static Finish correctly on a tech pack prevents most later disputes. Targets belong on the page before the first fabric sample.
Where to write it
Place Anti-Static Finish next to composition and weight so all three are quoted as one package. Working figures for Anti-Static Finish normally sit around below 1E11 ohms in mainstream production. Note EN 1149 surface resistance on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Reference level
Typical activewear expectation: below 1E11 ohms. Record elastane content alongside Anti-Static Finish, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside below 1E11 ohms usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
Tolerances that work
Allow a small tolerance rather than a fixed number, since normal process variation exists in every lot. Keeping reference values for Anti-Static Finish lets suppliers quote without extra sampling rounds. Ask for conditioning details together with EN 1149 surface resistance, since both affect the reading.
Verification method
Confirm with EN 1149 surface resistance and keep the report against the bulk record. Working figures for Anti-Static Finish normally sit around below 1E11 ohms in mainstream production. Note EN 1149 surface resistance on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Commercial note
Tightening beyond practical need raises cost without improving garment life, so set the tightest target only where it protects the customer. Record elastane content alongside Anti-Static Finish, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside below 1E11 ohms usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
