There is no material that is naturally static resistent. The time for which the static charge is present on the material depends on its Relaxation Time. This is directly proportional to the ratio of dielectric constant and its conductivity. Thus conducting materials have very short relaxation time so we feel no static charge is developed on it. Thus for practical purpose most of the metals are static resistant.

In my opinion it is 'Formil'. Lidl sell it (don't know if you have that there). It works in any wash and it is very cheap and concentrated so it is enviormentaly good and good for the pocket. It costs around 2euro.

im no engineer

but i would say steel and wood have the trait of movement

bricks and concrete are basically "glued" together and are strong as a support

i suggest that a "brick" the size of a family car wouldn't move much in any storm

tsunami not a storm

because concrete crumbles. wood doesn't unless it's been eaten by termites

An air chamber in a water line acts as a shock absorber to help prevent water hammer. Water hammer is the noisy banging sound that can occur when a water valve is suddenly closed, causing a pressure surge in the pipes. The air chamber provides a cushion of air that absorbs the shockwaves and reduces the stress on the pipes.

Nylon typically requires a low to medium heat setting on an iron, usually around 275-300 degrees Fahrenheit. It's important to check the care instruction label on the nylon garment for specific temperature recommendations to avoid damaging the fabric.

Removing stains from cotton can vary depending on the type of stain. Some common methods include using a stain remover, white vinegar, or baking soda. It's important to act quickly and follow the care label instructions on the garment.

Pilling of the cloth is common problem in polyester. The fibres protruding out of fabric surface attracts dirt,dust,foreign fibres (static charges adds to this attraction) and get entangled to form tiny balls. Cotton fibres breaks easily and those tiny balls get removed
