The following is an explanation of the electrostatic dust-attracting properties of the Cyber-Fabric™ “magnetic wiping cloth.
Any time two objects come in contact by rubbing or wiping, electrons are exchanged and electrostatic charges are generated. In most cases, the surfaces are conductive enough (or contain sufficient humidity) to ” bleed” off the charges. If one surface is not conductive, a charge remains on that surface, and objects that are not charged with the same polarity or at the same level (such as hair, dust, etc.) are attracted to that surface.
1. Low Electrical Conductivity
Modern Solution’s polymer Cyber-Fabric™ “magnetic” wiping cloth is one of the best electrical insulators available: far better than most plastics or ceramics used today. Since the fabric is such a good insulator (not a good conductor), it retains the electrostatic charges generated from the wiping motion. These charges are what attract surface dust, lint, hair, etc.
2. Surface Area
The larger the contact area, the more charge is generated. The Cyber-Fabric™ fibers have a very high surface area (nearly 50,000 square feet per pound), Also, The Cyber-Fabric™ structure is bulky and resilient, so that when surface contact is made, millions of fibers make contact and then separate into individual, highly charged fibers.
Summary
Cyber-Fabric™ “magnetic” wiping fabric generates strong electrostatic charges because of its bulk, resiliency, and very high surface area. The fabric also holds the charges for a long time because of its extremely low conductivity, high moisture repellency, bulk, and resiliency.
CYBER-FABRIC™
Inherently charged fibers attract dirt like a magnet.
Micro-porous surface holds dirt like a sponge.
No chemicals required.
Wiping motion alone is all that is required. Use dry, folded as it comes. Flip to an unsoiled panel for an always clean dust cloth surface.
Ideal for cleaning of glass, plastic, metal wood, ceramic and paper surfaces.
Perfect for cleaning computer monitors!
