Anti-Static Clothing & ESD Gloves
Importance Of ESD Garments In The Workplace
Creating an electrostatic protected area (EPA) in the modern workspace is of paramount importance. ESD garments are a vital tool in creating this, with everything from coats, t shirts, gloves and shoes all available with ESD options.
Without even knowing it, you are likely wearing clothing in your everyday settings that retain static electricity. ESD clothing will dissipate this static, ensuring that any sensitive electronic equipment does not succumb to damage.
What Makes Our Clothes & Gloves ESD Safe
When you purchase ESD Garments and other clothing items from Kaisertech you can rest assured that it has been manufactured to the highest of standards. Man made fibres that have conductive qualities are woven into the fabric, conducting the static and dissipating it to the ground.
ESD footwear is of course constructed differently. For more information, visit our ESD Shoes product page.
Popular ESD Garments
Within our product range there are 2 anti-static garments that prove popular with our customers. These are the ESD lab coats and the anti-static t shirts or Polo shirt range.
ESD Lab Coats – These anti-static lab coats are designed for ideal comfort, practicality and top of the range ESD protection. Woven with a 3% conductive yarn, these lab coats have dissipative qualities that ensure static is eliminated. Unlike non-ESD clothing, our anti-static lab coats prevent the effects of electrostatic charges on your product essentials and equipment.
Anti-Static Polo Shirts – Easy and comfortable use in an EPA environment, these ESD Polos are an ideal choice for work environments where less restrictive clothing is needed. They are also woven with a conductive yarn making them suitable for work in labs, health environments and precision engineering workspaces.
ESD Sweatshirts - For a warmer variety of anti-static garment, we also offer a range of ESD sweatshirts and jumpers that can keep you cosy and help reduce the damage caused by electrostatic discharge. With two option of a zip up or pull over ESD sweatshirt, we have the options available to meet most workplace requirements.
Anti-Static T Shirts - For the basic, but effective protection whilst working in and around an EPA. Available in a wide array of sizes and colours, our ESD T-shirts provide a stylish and effective way of protecting your employees and customers from ESD.
ESD Anti-Static Gloves
Often, ESD gloves get overlooked as a vital part of creating an electrostatic protected area. But they are perhaps the simplest and most cost-effective way to ensure your clothing is ESD safe. The gloves range that we have in stock, ground the user, which in turn minimises the possibility of your damaging sensitive electronics upon touch.
Our gloves come in 3 different materials, which are as follows:
- Nitrile ESD gloves – comprised of synthetic latex, nitrile gloves are perfect for their anti-static properties. Nitrile gloves are more resistant to punctures and a durable solution to most working environments.
- Vinyl ESD Gloves – The main reason for someone to decide to use vinyl gloves are as a viable alternative for an employee who has an allergy to latex.
- Polyester ESD Gloves – This fabric offers not just great ESD qualities, but also generally more cost effective. Unlike the nitrile or vinyl gloves, with polyester you can re-use the gloves multiple times. You can, therefore, generally save costs by using these over disposable gloves.
Considerations When Deciding Upon The ESD Gloves For You
When deciding upon which type of anti-static glove you should invest in, consider the following factors:
- Whether your employees have any latex allergies or other safety concerns.
- The main work purpose of the glove; handling work or assembly roles.
- Maintenance cost of the gloves. How many you require over time and factor the costings into your decision.
- Any elements that will hamper the effectiveness of your ESD gloves including any chemicals they may encounter and the electrical resistance of the material.
