An anti-static cloth is a type of cleaning fabric designed to prevent the buildup of static electricity on surfaces. It's commonly used in environments where static discharge can damage sensitive electronic components or attract dust and particles—such as in electronics manufacturing, cleanrooms, or around computer equipment.

Key Features of Anti-Static Cloths:

1. Static Dissipative Material:
   Made from synthetic fibers (like polyester) blended with conductive fibers (such as carbon or metal-coated threads) to safely dissipate static charges.

2. Lint-Free or Low-Linting:
   Prevents contamination, which is crucial in cleanroom and electronics environments.

3. Durability:
   Can withstand repeated use and washing without degrading its anti-static properties (depending on quality).

4. Dust-Repellent:
   Reduces the attraction of dust and particles, improving cleanliness.

Common Uses:

• Wiping down electronic devices (e.g., computer monitors, circuit boards, smartphones).

• In cleanrooms to maintain contamination control.

• During assembly of ESD-sensitive components to prevent electrostatic discharge.

Types:

• Dry anti-static cloths: For general wiping or polishing.

• Pre-moistened anti-static wipes: Impregnated with anti-static solution for better cleaning performance.

• Reusable vs. Disposable: Some are washable and reusable; others are single-use.
