Humidity in the Textile Industry

Indications that your textile production facility is experiencing a static build-up ranges from, yarn breakages, low recovery, dust, fly or lint. All of these indicate dry air and can be aided by putting the moisture back into the atmosphere. 

Here are some of the issues experienced in the textile industry due to humidity:

• Dry air is the cause of lower recovery and this result in poor quality and lower productivity.

• Fibre/yarns that are kept in a low humidified area, is generally weaker, thinner, more breakable, less elastic, creates extra chafing and is thus more prone to static electricity.

• Textile weights are standardised at 60%rH and 20°C. Low humidity causes lower material weight and lowered profits.

• Fabric shrinkages are caused by low humidity levels.
