Anti-static

Static electricity is a phenomenon called static discharge, or triboelectric charging. Walking across your carpet in regular socks, which causes two non-conductive materials to rub together, can create in excess 50,000 volts.

Dry conditions, such as those that exist during the winter months, and synthetic materials amplify the problem. The only way to minimize or eliminate the problem is to dissipate the electrical charges through a conductive material.
