ESD Workstation Chairs For Industrial And Technical Working Environments

Why You Need An ESD Chair
When getting up and sitting down on a chair, electrostatic charges are unavoidably generated. This build up is created when a non-conductive surface rubs against another non-conductive object. This is often caused through the rubbing of a worker’s clothes and the chair itself. Although a worker may not be able to feel the static charge themselves, it can be passed across to sensitive devices that will subsequently be damaged beyond repair.

To prevent this from occurring, an investment in ESD chairs for the workplace is a smart choice. An ESD chair in your workplace will prevent alleviate this issue. These ESD safe chairs will provide a conductive path from the user’s body to the ground, therefore dissipating the electrostatic charge. You will therefore benefit from owning a chair for several reasons:

• Prevent Damage To Sensitive Devices
• Comfortable Design For The Users Benefit
• Easily Adjustable & Ergonomic Design
• Minimise Environmental Pollutants For Cleanrooms

How Do The Chairs Work?
These chairs get the ESD properties through the materials they are constructed from. The main aim of them, as stated above, is to dissipate the electrostatic energy into the ground. It does this by always ensuring that there is a connection from body, through to chair, and then the ground. The way this is done is through the material of the chair. You will either have a fabric chair or vinyl, but each act in the same way. With the fabric chairs, there is a conductive fibre that is used in the weave of the material. If you have a vinyl chair, there will be a thin conductive layer that is present below the upper layer of vinyl. Both will give make your chair ESD safe.

Types Of ESD Chair

Fabric ESD Chair – Specifically designed for the electronic industry, these ESD chairs prevent the build-up of static electricity by dissipating the static directly through the earth. There are a variety of heights available, each with a height adjustment and seat tilt lever fitted. We can supply your ESD safe chair in 2 colours, charcoal grey and dark blue.

Cleanroom ESD Chair – These chairs are ideal for use in electronic, medical, or pharmaceutical environments. These range of chairs ensure that your work setting prevents the build up of static electricity, being highly safety focused. Made of soft polyurethane, this material is conductive to remove electrostatic charges. These chairs are highly durable and easy to clean, perfect for highly sensitive ESD areas. These chairs are designed for maximum comfort and lumbar support.

ESD Stools – Seating that is convenient, easy transported and ESD safe. These ESD stools provide convenient seating for electronic environments that require short periods of work. Conforming to IEC 61340-5-1, these stools could be the ideal solution for your workspace environment.

ESD Sit Stands - In an electronic production facility, certain roles require long periods of time on the feet. Sit-stands provide the perfect standing aid to relieve stress on the operators spine, whilst also being ESD compliant.
