POM Plastic Anti-Static Fabric for Baby Clothing — Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
POM Plastic Anti-Static Fabric for Baby Clothing: Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
POM Plastic Anti-Static Fabric is the version buyers specify for baby clothing when the base material is fixed by performance rather than by price. This entry sets out what the material actually changes, which specification to write into the tech pack, and where the cost sits — the three questions that decide whether the item passes bulk approval.
What it is
POM Plastic gives anti-static fabric its durability under wash and abrasion. In practice that means the fabric behaves differently in cutting, in finishing and in wear: the finish has to be applied before assembly. Buyers who specify the material up front avoid the most common failure — an item that looks right on the sample card and behaves differently in bulk.

Properties that matter in buying

- Colour fastness — tested to EN 71-3 on the actual base material, not on a substitute.
- Mechanical performance — elastic recovery after 50 cycles or washes.
- Compliance — EN 71-3 documentation issued with the shipment.
- Consistency — the approved counter sample becomes the reference for every reorder.
