Blending just a small amount of
Belltron will prevent static problems like
(1) static shocks you experience
when walking on carpets and touching door knobs, or getting
out of cars,
(2)clinging of clothing to your
body, and
(3)attracting of dust and soil.

High
Resistance to Washing, Flexing and Abrasion |
|
unlike
carbon-coated fibers, no carbon particles will come off
Belltron By rubbing. Also unlike metal and carbon fibers,
Belltron will neither break off, nor damage any surface it
comes in contact with.

Belltron |
|
This is a
high performance conductive bicomponent fiber born out of Kanebo's
conjugate fiber spinning technology. Blending a small amount of
Belltron with other fibers will make the resultant fabric sufficiently
antistatic. Belltron does not depend on the ambient humidity for
bringing about its antistatic effect. It has consistent antistatic
properties even in absolutely dry conditions. It can be blended with
other fibers in the pre-spinning stage. It can also be mixed with
other yarns at doubling, knitting and weaving stages. Kanebo is the
pioneer in the production of conductive fibers in Japan. Belltron has
enjoyed a solid record of achievement in sales for the last 22 years
since Kanebo started selling it in 1978. |

Product and technological
features |
|
As
shown in below illustrations, a bicomponent fiber Belltron is
composed of a matrix polymer and a conductive layer. The layer
contains densely embedded carbon black or white metal compound as
conductive particles. |
5. |
Advantages over other
companies' materials |
|
(1) |
Conductive layer extends across
the fiber and is continuous along the direction of the fiber
axis. Both edges of the conductive carbon-containing portion
are exposed to the outer surface of the fiber. This unique
structure ensures static charge conduction and dissipation as
well as self-charging. As a result, Belltron has outstanding
antistatic properties. |
(2) |
Nylon and polyester type
Belltron is available in filaments and staple fibers.
Belltron's conductive portion comes in carbon black and gray
colors. White type Belltron uses white metal compound as
conductive particles. This variety helps Belltron find various
new uses. |

As to Belltron brushes for
cleaning automated office equipment, Kanebo is ready to supply
static-free ones to meet your requirements. |
|
|
Work
clothes, dust-free garments, school uniforms, dress suits, sweaters,
carpets, upholsteries, car seats, blankets, curtains and static-free
brushes for cleaning office equipment. |

Susceptible to causticization,
Belltron may result in decreased antistatic properties when
i. |
it is
causticized by caustic soda in high concentration, |
ii. |
it is
repeatedly causticized by caustic soda in low
concentration and |
iii. |
it is de-colored
in caustic soda solutions. |
|
(2) |
Nylon Belltron is less heat
resistant than polyester Belltron, so it may dissolve when
exposed to high temperatures at thermosol dyeing. |
(3) |
Dissolvable in strong acids,
nylon Belltron should not be treated in strong acid solutions.
If an old chloric organic solvent is used repeatedly at a
laundry shop, the chlorine is set free and reacts with the
water to form hydrochloric acid. The acid may dissolve
Belltron. |
(4) |
White Belltron may decrease its
antistatic properties when passed between highly heated calander
rollers. |
|
|
We are also in a position to
offer mixed yarns of Polyester multifilament yarn with
intermingled Belltron components. In this way it is possible to strengthen the
yarn for easy weaving - possible for warp and for weft - to suit your
requirements and to ensure an excellent runability of the yarn.
Please note that all these
yarns are never produced on stock - only on specific demand. Minimum order is
100 bobbins = abt. 120 kgs.
