The cleanroom fabric ION-NOSTAT Plus is especially designed for applications with very high ESD requests. The comparatively very good values are based on the significantly higher number of conductive fibres used and the special developed fibre build-up of conductive fibres for such applications.
ION-NOSTAT Plus has a good particle retention capacity and also a good abrasion resistance (roughening disposition). The feel of the fabric is a bit tighter because of the higher number of conductive fibres and the plain weave. Despite that, ION-NOSTAT Plus has as well good values regarding water vapour resistance and has therefore been tested and certified as breathable.
ION-NOSTAT Plus can be sterilized without any problems.

The above-mentioned data are the results of investigations carried out by neutral textile research institutes and our suppliers to the best of their knowledge. They are not specifications but typical values at the time of publication.
All statements are without guarantee and changes are possible without prior notice.
Due to different test methods depending on the respective manufacturers and test institutes, the majority of the stated values cannot be compared one-to-one with those of other cleanroom fabrics.
(1) Values determined by the Institute for Textile and Process Engineering Denkendorf
In May 2017 the ITV Denkendorf merged into the public trust DITF Denkendorf.
(2) Values determined by the Hohenstein Textile Testing Institute (HTTI)
(3) Manufacturer information
Test results after 50 decontamination cycles.
Synthetic fabrics can shrink up to 3% during the decontamination process.
If such a textile is additionally autoclaved, the shrinkage has an even stronger optical effect due to the associated formation of wrinkles.
