Noun
/ˌæntiˈstætɪk ˈfaɪbər/
Antistatic fibre refers to a type of synthetic or natural fibre that is designed to resist static electricity build-up. These fibres are often used in various applications, including textiles, carpets, and industrial environments, to minimize the risks associated with static discharge, which can damage electronic devices or cause accidents in flammable environments.
The frequency of use for "antistatic fibre" is relatively moderate, and it is more frequently found in written contexts such as technical manufacturing descriptions, product specifications, and in research articles related to textiles and material science.
Antistatic fibre is commonly used in the production of clothing worn in electronic assembly lines.
(La fibra antestática se usa comúnmente en la producción de ropa utilizada en líneas de ensamblaje de electrónicos.)
The carpets made from antistatic fibre help prevent electrostatic discharge in sensitive areas like clean rooms.
(Las alfombras hechas de fibra antestática ayudan a prevenir la descarga electrostática en áreas sensibles como los cuartos limpios.)

The term "antistatic" is derived from the prefix "anti-", meaning against, combined with "static", which itself originates from the Greek word "statikos" meaning "causing to stand, standing". The word "fibre" comes from the Latin "fibra," meaning "a thread or filament".
These terms may vary depending on the specific application or context in which they are used.
