The fabric Light-Tech AS is mainly used for the production of so-called cleanroom-suitable intermediate clothing (undergarments). The low mass per unit area combined with an extremely pleasant tactile sensation (similar to silk) are the special features of this fabric. Due to the use of conductive fibres in warp as well in weft direction, the Light-Tech AS fabric also has correspondingly good antistatic properties.

The evaluation of the textile properties listed here is primarily based on empirical values and only partly on real measured values.
Product recommendation based on cleanroom classes
Cleanroom suitable undergarments made of Light-Tech AS can be worn in any cleanroom class area. Recommended especially in ESD-zones with high requirements.
Various studies have shown that the use of a suitable cleanroom-suitable intermediate garment can reduce both the microbiological contamination and the number of possible particulate impurities by 50% and more.
