Antistatic Blackout Curtain (Black Dyed Kanekalon x White Beltron)

Hello everyone.

This time, I'd like to introduce the yarn used in antistatic blackout curtains.

Some public facilities requiring blackout curtains, such as theaters, are required by fire safety regulations to use flame-retardant materials.

Therefore, Kanekalon is sometimes used in blackout curtains.

The black dyed Kanekalon used in these blackout curtains is this one.

Using this yarn allows for the creation of blackout curtains with a superior texture that polyester cannot achieve.

While polyester blackout curtains can sometimes flicker depending on how the light hits them, black dyed Kanekalon blackout curtains do not exhibit such flickering, and are therefore highly regarded as superior blackout curtains.

However, because it is a synthetic fiber, it has a low moisture content and bulkiness, which makes it prone to static electricity.

Static electricity not only causes a shock when touched, but also attracts dust, making cleaning difficult. Furthermore, static electricity in factories or areas with precision equipment can lead to serious accidents. Therefore, we created this yarn covered with "White Beltron."

You can see white dots in places.

This is the conductive fiber "White Beltron."

"White Beltron" is one of the conductive fibers manufactured by KB Seiren.

Conductive fibers are fibers that do not store electricity, making them less prone to static electricity.

Furthermore, because the fiber itself possesses this function, its conductivity does not decrease even after washing, and it retains its function semi-permanently.

The company that creates the blackout curtains using these threads is Orishi Co., Ltd.

The blackout curtain using this yarn is the "Antistatic Blackout Curtain S-1" on the linked page.

This blackout curtain generates less than 1/5 the amount of static electricity compared to a blackout curtain made of 100% Kanekalon!

Another great feature is that you can see that conductive fibers are woven into the fabric by using White Beltron.

Of course, they also sell a basic type using regular Kanekalon.

They also sell online, so please check them out if you need blackout curtains.
