Hey there! As a supplier of TR Suiting, I've been getting a lot of questions lately about the static - electricity situation of our products. So, I thought I'd sit down and write this blog to clear up any confusion.
First things first, let's talk about what TR Suiting is. TR Suiting refers to a type of fabric that is a blend of Terylene (also known as polyester) and Rayon. This combination gives the fabric some really great qualities. It's wrinkle - resistant, durable, and has a nice drape. But like any blend, it also has its own set of quirks, and static electricity is one of them.
Now, let's dive into the science behind static electricity in TR Suiting. Static electricity is generated when two different materials come into contact and then separate. During this process, electrons are transferred from one material to the other. In the case of TR Suiting, the polyester component is a synthetic fiber that has a tendency to hold a charge. Rayon, on the other hand, is a semi - synthetic fiber made from natural sources. When there's friction between the fabric and other materials (like your skin, or a chair you're sitting on), electrons can move around, creating a build - up of static electricity.
The severity of the static - electricity problem in TR Suiting can vary depending on several factors. One of the biggest factors is the environment. In dry climates, static electricity is much more likely to occur because there's less moisture in the air to dissipate the charge. You've probably noticed that during the winter months, when the air is cold and dry, you get shocked more often when touching metal objects. The same principle applies to our TR Suiting. If you're in an area with low humidity, you might experience more static cling.
Another factor is the way the fabric is treated. Some of our TR Suiting products are treated with anti - static agents during the manufacturing process. These agents work by reducing the surface resistance of the fabric, making it harder for static charges to build up. For example, we have a Twill TR Fabric that has a special anti - static treatment. This twill fabric not only looks great but also has a significantly reduced static - electricity problem compared to untreated fabrics.
The composition of the blend also plays a role. If the TR Suiting has a higher percentage of polyester, it's more likely to generate static electricity. But we've found the sweet spot in our blends to balance the durability and other benefits of polyester with the reduced static - generation property of rayon. Our TR Wool Suiting Fabric is a great example. By adding a small amount of wool to the TR blend, we not only enhance the fabric's warmth and softness but also reduce the static - electricity build - up.
Now, you might be wondering how to deal with static electricity if it does occur in your TR Suiting. There are a few simple things you can do. One is to use a fabric softener when washing the suit. Fabric softeners coat the fabric fibers with a thin layer that helps to reduce friction and prevent static build - up. You can also try using an anti - static spray. Just a quick spray on the suit before you wear it can make a big difference.
Another thing you can do is to increase the humidity in your environment. You can use a humidifier, especially during the dry months. This adds moisture to the air, which helps to dissipate the static charge on the fabric.
For our part, as a TR Suiting supplier, we're constantly working on improving our products to minimize the static - electricity issue. We're always exploring new treatment methods and blend ratios to offer you the best possible TR Suiting. Our TR Suit Fabric line is a result of our continuous research and development efforts.
